I was outside last night and it was cooler and walking the dogs wondering when autumn would come. Then I went to e-bay and saw the sure sign Autumn was fast approaching... the number of TR's for sale and the much lower asking prices...

Like this TR8:

If I had a garage and time there are $2000 in parts in teh car alone, if I could store it over winter strip and clean the parts....

It is like no one has a garage to store them in or that during winter they simply lose interest. I wonder if as spring approaches people start to dump their 4X4's

4X4's have their seasons too.

It is sad to see these cars get to this point of disrepair. I could see if they had been wrecked but otherwise it is a shame to let a car like that rot away.

Must be nice to have some cooler weather. It is still too hot to work on the car right now. It was 88* and humid last night at 9:30!

A true sign that Autumn is coming around here is when I drove the 3 to the bank and grocery store with the wife last night. The minute you're not looking she steals both blankets out of the back seat and then when you come out a the store she's got your denim jacket on as well. Had to turn the heater valve back on last night.

Yep, autumn is coming to the island as well.
We are seeing the seasons first black bikini whales
on the beaches in the tourist zones.

NOT a pleasant sight to behold.

What a difference geography makes.

I will be taking my top down now that autumn is arriving, the sun's rays are not near as harsh in the fall. I should be driving at least until early December.
