MINI Driver Goes a "Little" Faster

My daughter, Michelle Colvard, is the current Ms. Wheelchair America. She's a MINI driver, but last weekend she had a chance to go just a little...faster. Here's the link to some pictures and comments posted by her husband Brian, on the Metroplex MINI board:

Now that was great, excellent pictures. You have a pretty daughter with lots of spirit.

Good story in the posting at metro.

So that whole 'husband' thing, is that working out? Your daughter is a very lovely young woman. Looks like she had one hell of a weekend.

Thanks. To give credit where it's due, her hubby Brian took the pictures and posted on the Metroplex site. I just cringed at home after I found out! After her last skiing trip, I realized it's better to find out later... You know how mothers are.

Well, I'm sure seeing the fairly constant "i'm in heaven!" look on her face in the pics might've eased a little of the motherly concern....

I think everything can be summed up in one word(Your daughter, Her being Ms. Wheelchair America, Her riding in an Indy Car, and how stunning she is). SWEET
