We won the Best C-5 trophy at a Queen City Corvette Club show.



On a rainy day



I had fun at the SC Railroad Museum



We learned that Vettes don't back up hill on sand very well.



Stopped in Coosawatchie, SC but couldn't fine the town anywhere.



TrainMom and I had a great year with the Railroad Vette and the Queen City Corvette club!



A Happy New Year and a Great 2006 to all of our friends here on the Forum.

TrainMan and TrainMom

Great stuff.. thanks for sharing. Friends, family, hobbies and a sweet car... you're a rich man, indeed.

Nice tribute to the pets, too. For a lot of us, they're friends and family as well.
