We are at the Acura dealer Friday night to pick up our new 2015 TLX. The internal sales brochures had a few page spread on NSXpo. I thought they looked familiar.
The first one you have below is on the cover, but with people next to their cars. Didn't see you.
There's then a picture from the track with the cars a little spread out, and there you are, 3rd in line.

I lifted these photos from NSXPrime. They were all taken by Robert Ondrovic, I believe.
^10-8-2015 at NSXPO in Palm Springs, CA at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
^10-9-2015 at The Thermal Raceway. We did some s l o w parade laps. That's my blue hottie on the right, third car back.
^10-9-2015. Interior of the black 2016 NSX I got to ride in around the Thermal Raceway. It realy looks good and the photo doesn't do it justice.

The +1 and I have returned from an eight day vacation in Newport Beach, CA. Beforehand, we had made a list of a list of places to visit and activities to pursue; most
of our objectives were met.
I believe the highlight was our day-long rental of a 20’ sloop that allowed us to bone up on our sailing skills, followed by a visit to the Getty Museum, the San Diego Zoo, and the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. During the stay we saw only one S2000; it was being driven top-up in Dana Point – I was amazed at the number of high-end cars in the Orange County areas.
Fourteen degree temperatures and eleven inches of freshly fallen snow greeted us upon our return.
I’m enclosing a few (okay, there’s 14) West Coast photos taken during our vacation…sorry about the quality -- I used my point and shoot camera. Here they are:
Some rare and exotic birds of California.
These exotic birds were everywhere.
My +1 (Mary) at the helm and the sloop itself.
Newport Harbor during the day and night.
Coast line Photos.
The average street driven car in Orange County townships (ho-hum…yawn).
The Getty.
The Mission at San Juan Capistrano

This is a "vintage" photo, from the DOT, of the newly finished Wolf Creek Pass summit, above Pagosa Springs, Colorado. A growing number of automobiles in the country were replacing the horse drawn wagons. The new roadway did not follow a known mountain trail, as did US550.
The photographer, Ory Thomas (O.T.) Davis, was very active throughout Colorado near the beginning of the twentieth century. Ory has several published books showing his historic photography and commentary that make nice gifts. I own a few of his publishing's.
