What I consider 'great driving experiences' are:



145mph across Ohio on my way to New Jersey from Kansas.



Blowing away a twin turbo 308 Ferrari on a drag strip.



Passing a Porsche Turbo on the main straight of Texas World Speedway.



My silver car, and two friend's Panteras (one yellow, the other black)

abreast on a six lane highway for about 15 miles and watching all the

people gawk.



Or just driving down 'main street' watching the heads turn and the store

windows rattle....



You can check out the two runs with the Ferrari at:

There's a couple of TWS also.



But I am polishing it up for this weekend's 'Classic Wheels and Wooden

Keels' car and boat show at the Lakewood Yacht Club outside of Houston this

weekend.



If you're in the area, stop by. It was a great show last year and this

year's is supposed to be even better.
