When you're right you're right. So many gorgeous places to take photos, especially with sea as a backdrop. Aaah.

Good luck, that.

That's what they all say at first. Our first five years of marriage were bliss... one long honeymoon. And then...

...the maternal impulses strike!

I my case, it was good-bye by Hurst/Olds, hello 4 door Ford.


Like a said, enjoy for now!

Well I feel pretty good that her/we won't want kids for at least another 2-3yrs. So if it does happen the Z will be paid in full.

Not much really to report. Purchased tires for the Works; Yoko Advan Sports 255/35 & 285/35-19. Thanks to Rickdogg I have a set of Project Kics R40 lugs w/ locks also. Went ahead and picked up the Braille mount & a "FairladyZ" third brake light. Unsure if I'll install the third light or not. Waiting for delievery of the replica Nismo CF Limited Edition engine cover from Z1. Saving up for the StopTech BBK and a set of Konis. Looking at some body kits but nothing crazy. Once that is complete JWT TT. I'll be home in less than a mount for updated pictures.
