This is my favorite! I asked them if me and Winston could go in and join in the fun, but they wouldn't let us. Even after I told them the Cooper has "go-kart handling".



And the last one outside my house. I WISH!!! This is just some stupid big house that I have loved since I was a kid. I think it has an olympic size indoor pool or something. Crazy.

You went searching for wall-art. Very cool. My favorite is the one with Winston in front of the red (ekg) line.

I did indeed! There is a lot more of it in town than I realized! Yeah, that EKG line is WAY cool. It's on the side of a (gay) club in town called "The Pulse". Pretty snazzy.

Nice pics rattmobbins! Thanks for sharing with your NAMily!

Looks like you put alot of thought into your picture taking, seeking out all that neat wall art. I do like the one of Winston next to the blacked out wall with the red EKG trace on it. Way cool! I think it would be nice if that pic were included in the '08 NAM calendar.

Also enjoyed the one taken in front of the indoor karting track. Too bad you couldn't take Winston inside and demonstrate his kart like handling!

Thanks again, enjoy & Motor On!

Sorry, but you'll have to get over it. Matt Robbins would probably be taken on many of the forums/e-mail addresses I use, where as rattmobbins NEVER is. Works for me!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. This car is just so freakin' photogenic, it's hard not to snap pics of him at every stoplight! If I start to bore you with my pics/threads, feel free to let me know.

He's at the window tint shop as I type, getting a nice layer of 35% tint to help keep him cool in this hot summer New Mexico heat. I'll be sure to post some "after" pics when I get him back this afternoon.

Very nice pix. The wall art is cool. How big a town is CBQ? And btw that is not an EKG strip (no p waves, no t waves...I read ECGs for a living!).

Not sure how big CBQ is, but ABQ () is about a half million in the city itself, close to 800,000 including the surrounding areas.

I lived in Ablueturkey (or however Albuquerque is supposed to be spelled) for about 5 years in the early 1970s. I suspect that the places in your photos were just desert then.

Oh, nice looking MCS, BTW. It is the exact colorscheme that one of my favorite heroines drove in a Japanese film.
