We took a carriage ride around Charleston. My wife is getting to know Grey Man, our carriage horse.

That's a gorgeous car. I love old air cooled Porsches. I owned a '67 911 for a few years, and it was my favorite of all the cars I owned. Driving one of those rear engine cars could be quite scary. They didn't have all the electronic driving controls that newer Porsches have. After I sold mine, the poor guy who purchased it, took a corner too quickly and put it ass-end into a tree and totaled out the car. The engine is the most expensive part of the car. I wish I would have kept it, because they go for close to $100,000 these days. I only paid $5,000.

Another fine set, Joe.

I would love another Porsche, but the prices are out of my price range. Several years ago, I test drove a Porsche Cayman with a manual transmission. It brought back memories of the 911, but because it was a mid-engine car, the handling was far greater than the rear engine vehicles. It would be great to be let loose in a GT3 too.

Kim, great photo. Love the old XKEs! Many years ago, I owned a 1967 air cooled Porsche 911. They both had six cylinder engines, but the Jags was more than twice the displacement of my car. But I foolishly challenged him to a little race, and he blew my doors off. Oh well, live and learn. Later on, I had a 1969 Corvette. Much more power, but the Porsche still handled better.

Mark, more great photos and historical information.

John, more great photos of Quebec City. When we were there, with all the walking we did, it was enough of a struggle for us. Can't imagine trying it in winter conditions. Keep up the good work.

John, another fine set. You need to have your proper equipment with you, otherwise we won't be able see your fine work.
Take care my friend.
