I didn't know Ally, but the love for her on this forum is obvious, I took the seven out for a quick blast for her.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?

I took my 7 out for a run today, lights on and stopped by the Pacific.
Went to take a picture and wouldn't you know it-no camera battery, so my memory of a lovely, lively young woman is all I have to post.

Thinking of Ally.

Took the 7 to the local 9/11 memorial 5K. A bit overcast but a nice day. I'm sure Ally would have enjoyed the ride. Cheers!

Took the twisty scenic route! Of course [:D]

Got home and pulled out another camera.

We did a run to the Lake Ferry Hotel. A good 2 hour jaunt on some excellent roads followed by a good lunch then a 90 minute blast to get home in time to got to the Rugby World Cup match at the Wellington Stadium. I forgot about the headlights, sorry.

Went to Fort Rodd Hill Car Show. Had a memoriam to Ally on windshield. Ally was there. How else do explain that all the TR7's (3) won door prizes?

It will be SEVEN years on 9/11 that the wonderful Ally was taken from all of us.

I would propose that we all drive our TR7s/TR8s on that day with our headlights on. She would have loved all the wedge owners driving their car on one day a year! I really miss talking with her!
