    From sea to shining sea.

    Actually from Laguna Beach in the morning and then to Venice Beach in the afternoon. My freind Celinas' place in Laguna. Early morning photo shoot. In her corral. Still promoting !! Later on my birthday, yesterday, at Venice Beach with Esmeralda. Yes I took FOUR spaces. Got a ticket too 45.00.Worth it though to guarantee my car was untouched still when I returned from a stroll on the beach It was so windy that this sailboat washed up on shore...without its' Captain. Needless to say the search was on. He was racing solo from Catalina Island to Santa Monica. We split before a body might wash up near us . . One more for good measure. Esmeralda and I hit the 145 mark (breifly)(Clear road-not much traffic) on the 10 freeway. I used to hesitate hitting super high speeds with the splitters on up front. Now without them I am way more comfy going for it.

    Why did you take off your splitter?

    I finally ground them to nothing. And they were the best designed splitter hieght-wise. Next splitter may be solid and teflon coated for less friction against driveways. We'll see how my track times are affected. And I will sneak a few laps with my windows shut to see if it helps much.

    Excuse my colour blindness, but did your friend paint her railings in an exclusive Audi colour as well?

    Last time I was on Venice beach, there was a white bearded dude flying about on his roller skates playing his electric guitar, whilst wearing his white bedsheets. He wouldn't have been inhaling anything noxious would he?

    Mike, that fellows name is Harry Carry. Quite famous for his Jimi Hendrix tunes. He now uses roller blades and performs exclusively in Hollywood. Yes the railings are Jet Blue ,
