On the Road Again.....

That's right, Jim!
(remember? I'm calling you all "Jim" now? Ok.... I should let that go)

Anyway, that's right!
Cameron is once again mobile of his own volition!





This vintage vehicle vests its vivacious voayager with vim and vigor vis a vis vehicular vivacity. This vagile voiture, though veraciously not velivolant, is not for the verecund. It's ventral vermeil veneer of vesuvian vernition is verily ventorious! This vettura takes the viaggiatory viator..... ok.... enough vaniloquence....I should let that go too.

So here's the sccop.

It's a 1973 BMW 2002.

It's a bit older, but it's got character. It's got older parts (drum brakes, manual windows and locks), but it's also got a taste of new technology (nice sound system, complete with iPod connection). It certainly needs some exterior and detail work, but with some time and patience and hard work, that could all be fixed. But the important parts (engine, brakes, etc.) all work really well. As it is right now, it's pretty quick off of the line, but doesn't much care for long hauls at high speeds. Fortunately, this is an island, and the highest speed limit is 55. It's a lot of fun, and girls really like it, although very few would actually want to have it as their own.

Both Kaleo and Annie (who came to visit) said "This car is so you!" And in rereading the previous paragraph, I suppose they're exactly right.


Here's a 4± minute video of me driving over the Saddle Road on the way to Kona. This road is crazy fun to drive on.
