'Bout the only British car I see there that I like is the Mini - I've too many bad memories working on Triumphs and MG's (I specialize in electronics, so you know who got to work on every one of those s that came in the shop) and the 7 looks too much like the go-carts I used to build as a kid (though the go-carts were probably better built).

Is that a real 7 or a kit car?

All I can say is they said it was a Lotus so I assumed it was real.

my dad had a triumph spitfire, and my uncle had a Fiat Spider or something, and they both would take every ground they could find, and clean em up and reground them, and use some dialectric grease

Never trust the opinion of a mechanic. They hate everything on four wheels. :D Whenever I'm looking at new cars, if I say what model it is to my brother, all I ever get is a disgusted groan. There isn't a car in NA that he hasn't had some disastrous experience working on. :giggle:

More of the second last trip. We travelled what is called the Irish Loop - it was a 6 hour drive. The first two are were taken at the Colony of Avalon - the first colony in North America. Later we stopped in Trepassey for lunch.

Looks like a cool get together.  Sure looks like a nice scenic area too!  You can do post cards from some of those background pics!

Thanks guys! The landscape shots came out pretty good considering all I did was hold the camera out the window as I was driving along :)
