I'm glad to see people have time to worry about every calamity across the globe, they don't have enough going on in their lives, they need to stay concerned about all events in the world!!

While we are being concerned about our CF buds - What happened to GrandsportC3? I don't recall seeing anything from him in months. And, it should be prime racing weather in Florida now.

Hi Moosie
I am OK not much of a night club person. BTW the death toll is now 61 with many more burn victims not expected to make it. Mostly young people were attending the party. I feel for the families of the ones that have lost there lives.

Thanks for your concern for a fellow C3 owner.

Happy New Year to all.

As time goes by many things change and many stay the same. Good luck with your new house and your bigger garage.

The new house has a 6-car garage (4+2 over 1600 sq/ft of attached garage space) which of course is ideal for my needs.. Already moved the race car to that house.. Lots of space to work on the cars.. Nice size driveway too.. The indoor pool isn't too bad either.. I'm busy tiling the indoor pool room with red slate.. That will be very nice when finished..

The house has 4200 sq/ft air conditioned.. The pool room probably uses 1700 sq/ft of that. It's a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a 21 x 21 bonus room and the pool room.
