Come one, come all, see the world famous Jeff demonstrate the Smart Top! Wander through the winery...stop by our car and talk about what we haven't done to it, grab some cheese and crackers...then at the appointed time cruise on over to Lilly's for nourishment, beverages and friendly faces in a Lakeridge setting...if you're not familiar with the area, stay over and make it a Floridacation. We look forward to seeing all those great roadsters...
Well Umm, it looks like I will be unable to make this event after all. Seems as though I had a slight run in with the edge of my garage door on the front bumper skin and damaged the skin. So, the car is in the body shop getting this repaired and Insurance has decided to replace the bumper skin, which is of course on back order from the fatherland. They have not told me that it is out of production yet,,,, and I hope those rumors are incorrect. (It did not help that in exactly the same spot, I had mistakenly pulled over a too high curb stop, that when I backed up, it kinda caught the edge and ripped the lower lip about 6 inches.) So I really need a new cover.
The previous owner had initially driven over a curb stop and ripped the cover and it had been bubble gum repaired with glue and then repainted (badly). It may take until after Christmas to get the car back. Adjuster, who has an office at the shop will start the car for 5 minutes every couple of days to keep the battery up.
I hope to get it back in much better condition than when I first purchased it.

Anyone going need a set of Akebono pads for a 4 piston 55 (2007-2011 I believe)? Never been taken out of the box. I will send them back if no one does.
