I did get to live in the same town, Coronado, for all of junior high and high school. Moving almost every year in elementary school was not a great deal of fun.

That track at Monaco is so tight. Passing is very tough to do..

The only fun would be to drive the track, even in just a sports car..

Now that would be fun..

Keep us posted...Hope the fix works and you don't have the problem again.

But if your car is sitting, it still looks great...

Never got to Tokyo. I did get to Mt Fugi. Me and another Marine tried to climb it but had a severe storm come over the mountain after was where 9/10ths of the way up. We knew it was time to go when we met a stream of Japanese people running down the mountain. :ugh2:
