I wish they were mine. They belong to a relative we stayed with during the holidays. They are a 308 GTS and a 512 BBS plus a spyder Maserati, Viper truck and the rest are not there.
Both Ferraris are totally restored and have won many bronze and platinum awards. =) maverick

14.2 lbs! Thanks! It's a fantastic ride! How do you like your Litespeed? Which one is it?

I drive a '97 Toyota Landcruiser or an '06 Mercedes CLS 500. It depends on my mood or the weather on which one gets to go out on the road.
I drove in to the office this morning, it's a warm Friday in New England, no snow, salt, etc., so today is CLS day.
I'll try and post photos tonight from home.

I dumped the Rolex a while back, but will post my car anyway.

Drove this most of the summer, but it's tucked away now for the winter (not that it's been much of a winter so far!):





Now the all wheel drive car gets all the driving:

I don't drive a car with a Rolex at all anymore.

But when I'm not in my Passat wagon, I'm on the one in the foreground.

Charles,
I live about a stones throw away from the Ohio River at the northern tip of Ky. The riding is great, lots of hills , lots of farmland closeby if you like flats , and riding along the Ohio River is great.
The Cincinnati Cycle Club is the oldest in the USA. I don't belong to any clubs but do ride some of their organized centuries. We also have the Little Miami Bike trail that starts in S Ohio and runs about 80 to 90 miles north. Too flat and boring for me though.

90 flat miles is a LONG TT! We have some good rolling terrain here but if I go about 2 hours west it's just leg breaking.

Charles, I have a Vortex. It's an awsome ride. I'd guess I have around 25,000 miles on it. Riding here in Colorado in fantastic. But you have to love hills! I looked at some of your TdF pictures. They are awsome. Lance is waving and smiling for the camera. Never ridden with Lance. But I have ridden with his coach a couple of times.

The Vortex is a great ride. I debated Litespeed for a while but in the end wanted something different. I plan on moving to Colorado this year and I'm really looking forward to the hills. I've done the Ironhorse route a few times on riding vacations and it's great.

Thanks for the pic compliments! I mainly do sports photography and try to focus on cycling. That Lance shot was 1 in a million...that was his final lap and it was literally bedlam.

I have raced agains LA's coach and LA himself, when he was 19 or 20. Also raced against Francesco Moser, Sean Kelly, Stephen Roche, Olav Ludwig, Beppe Saroni, Andy Hamsten, Davis Phinney, Frankie Andreu, Steve Bauer, Phil Anderson and all those 7-11/Motorola guys until about '95.

I have to say, when I met LA, he was an arrogant prick. I'd like to think it was his youth (as I'm sure I was when I was 19 and racing) but...

BTW Charles, really cool website and pix.

That's awesome...I've met Frankie a few times. One of the nicesty guys I've ever met. LA on the other hand...best to just appreciate his athletic ability.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Agree 100% on Frankie... the guy is a class act. Since he's from Detroit and I'm was in Toronto, we raced each other a bunch of times, particularly in Avalon and Hutchman's back yard.

LA... rather than appreciate his athletic ability, I just appreciate the pharmacologists and doctors responsible for his um, 'wins'.

I have a pic with Frankie somewhere...he's already huge and standing next to me he looks 7' tall...which I don't think he's far from.
