We took our climbing this weekend with the boy — to Coopers Rock (a couple of photos on the home page). It was good time, though we were only there for a few hours (since we left at 1pm). Seb seem to have a good time, taking all the nature in, so that’s a positive sign. Here are a couple of images.

In other news…we went to the Vintage Grand Prix this weekend. Saw my friend’s recently retooled Pantera. I believe it’s got about 610 horsepower at the moment. I should have taken some photos, but I was too in awe. I’ve also got it stuck in my head that I want a 1989 or 90 BMW M3 e30. My friend sold one of these to get his Pantera, and it was just an amazing car. It doesn’t have a huge engine, but the handling is simply amazing — a true track car. They aren’t terribly expensive to purchase used, and they generally retain their value as there are fewer and fewer of them on the streets (many owners convert them to full track cars), but maintanence can be bit expensive.
