So glad that you finally got out to take Winston for a romp. These cars are so much fun to drive and yes, very comfortable!

The pictures look great to me but Raphael looks even better!
Congratulations Splinter!!! Can't wait to see him with the tint.

(I thought turtles were green )
Maybe Raphael is a Leaf Turtle:

Wow, that beauty should not be hard to miss on the SoCal freeways! I'll keep an eye out for it, and congratulations!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

"Whew!" Feels good to get that off my chest. I run the gamut of stalking techniques, much like the rest of you. Is this normal?
I am sure "Buster" was up to no good, causing the Taipan to do most of the doughnuts. Kids...

I am sure "Pippa" was right there with "Buster" causing problems. Those crazy Roadsters...

Only once an hour?

BTW, I was thinking the exact same thing about technology. It was almost easier when the Taipan was out of range. I just feel bad for my family and friends for having to deal with me and my constant updates. I think they are looking forward to her arrival even more than I am so I will finally shut up.

Oh don't you worry. I have been tracking my ship(Figaro) when it hasn't even dock at Southampton yet. It is currently doing donut outside of Southampton, waiting for a docking space I guess?

Hopefully it will dock soon!

LOL... It wasn't any easier for me when it was out of range. I was more upset that I couldn't see it. As for the fam, my wife keeps mocking me and asking me every time she sees me where my car is at

Speaking of ship stalking...I was dining at a Coronado restaurant with some friends and the subject was ship stalking by MINI owners. They were amused by the whole thing and just as I was describing the types of ships that we stalked, this one sailed by. It's the Madame Butterfly, en route from San Diego to Port Hueneme. I's a PCTC, but not on any of the schedules I could find so definitely has no MINIs onboard. Anyway, that was quite a coincidence.

Only a ship like that could hide the better part of a city!

Tell me about it. Especially when this is the last location available. I'm convinced those other ships are Somalia Pirates. :D

So very sad! I have been watching it for over an hour and right as it was about to be in range of the Centennial Bridge camera, it went out.
