GT4Lusso

It's also on the license plate.   :D

Never caught that -- I noticed the body styling differences between it and its predecessor (the FF).

Since I know zip about these cars, I thought it was a GT for some guy named Lusso.   ;D

My neighbourhood is several feet deep in very attractive young ladies at their first couple of weeks at UofG.   :o   This is helped by warm weather and I suppose as they wish to get in first with the assorted young men at the uni.

It is quite distracting to drive along past the uni.  But I am tough, I am strong, I neither crashed nor even swerved!   :o

I was recently in London and 'had to' drive by Western and thought the same things.

Indoors yesterday afternoon and one of the new students over the road came home.   He got out his car, walked over to our side of the road and took a photo of something.      I wandered out a few minutes later an there was water bubbling out of the road in 3 - 4 places. I called the city and a guy came round within 10 minutes took a look, a few cones around it and went away.  Water was left on over night.

This morning they started to appear at 07:00 and  we had at one point:
 The man who searches for pipes and wires with his gadgets and spray cans of paint.
A backhoe and driver.
5 assorted pickup tricks, some with gear, some with trailers and one that looked like a portable dining lounge and washroom.
2 large trucks for stuff removed.
A whole flash mob of guys in hi-vis clothes.

Water pipe fixed by 3pm and they will be back in force tomorrow to replace a piece of storm drain, fill up the 10' square hole and patch the road.
Next week the concrete guys will come by to fix the concrete curb.

Our street only has 12 houses

Looks good in all black. I also like the blue you can get on the Sierra.

Went for drinks at one of the cyclists place after our ride today. Never been to this person's house before but they opened the garage and there was a MB 380SL in there. Great condition and only 165K on it. 

Like this one...



Also saw a MBG TD (?) today up on the escarpment just north of Dundas. Not sure of the year but in great condition. Perfect day to be out driving around in one.

Saw the new Honda Ridgeline on the road this morning.  I see it as the Aztec of the current pickup marketplace.  Definitely not much of a looker, to say the least.

The front end is too rounded for a pickup. Would look a lot better if it was squared off.
