Simon I know you're not kidding but for heavens sake where?

Jeeeeeesh can you imagine in a Mustang with a 15mm lens on an M and one on
the R8? Man it would be wild. :-) And what better 75 birthday present to
oneself than this kind of adventure. :-)

Sure better than my 65 birthday gift of my first parachute jump and solo!
Now there's an exciting experience. :-) Everyone thought I was crazy but it
was the best damn ride in my life! :-) :-)

No I didn't take a camera as I figured it would be better to concentrate on
everthing about landing and not picture taking. ;-) But on the way down I
was dissappointed I didn't take one as it wasn't any different than sitting
in a chopper legs out the side and shooting from that position which I'd
done on many occasions in the past.

But a Mustang ride??????? Yee Haw!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
