Went to the Tail of the Dragon today!

etf · 06-25-2006, 11:21 PM

I went with my wife and some of her MINI Cooper buds up to the Tail of the Dragon today. I met Black06NaviSI (Eric) He had come up from Franklin, TN with a couple of his buds to pop the cherry on his 1-week old Si.

My wife took this picture of us.

I would have made it if it wasn't for the damn forecast. My RR Si would have looked great in that pic.

I'm the old fart in the middle and Eric is on the left. Not pictured is Jonathon (who rode up with Eric). Jonathon got to ride with my friend David in his Lotus Elise for a run up the Dragon. He was grinning from ear to ear after that ride!

Hope to see a lot of you in September,
E.T.

I was going to post "who's the old fart in the middle" but I thought better of it.

I definitely want a ride in that Elise next time I go.

Those are some great pics and your car looks great, too. I'm definitely going to have to make a trip up there next month. Make sure that dude with the Elise is there.
