:::Back 2 Cars:::

It's been a long time since I've last updated about cars, so here is one for all of you Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Fans.

This is the Roadster version of the Mercedes SLR McLaren (A Mercedes with a McLaren Motor in it).In case you didn't know this the McLaren F1 used to be the fastest production car in the world; and it is one of my favorite cars. The body of the SLR is made of carbon fibre because of it's strength, torsional stiffness, safety, and lightness. The supercharged V-8 engine, with 626 hp, can reach a top speed of 332 km/h (the same as the coupe version). That sure would blow your hair around if you had the top down!! McLaren and Mercedes have taken materials used in aciation and space industries and put it into their cars: so cars like this SLR are very advanced in material and performance. 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds... oh yah!! These specs are unheard of for any convertable.

:::It's Been Awile!:::

Hello everyone! It's been along time since I've updated. 1st of all I'll give you all the reason I was gone.

So Last week (July 8-15) my family and I were in Kimberly, BC for the Kimberly International Old Time Accordion Championships (KIOTAC). My Sister, Brother, and Dad all play the accordion. My Sister and Brother both competed. The whole week was pretty wicked cool. The Platzl is very nice place to spend some time looking through the stores (I stuck mostly to the bike stores). The Platzl is a nice place the whole area is covered in stone walkways, plants, and other stuff like that, very nice looking. In the middle of the place is a gazebo were the preformers can play the accordion music. The competitions are held at the Civic Center and so are the dances and concerts.

I got lots of exercise walking from our motorhome and the Civic Center and Platzl! Kimberly also recently opened a new swimming pool. We spent lots of time there, it's very nice with a small portion with a current (Like a wavy river) that was so awesome!! I also learned how to dance better and met some cool people.

If you ever think about going to the KIOTAC do it, it's a blast! (C U there next year!!).

More Car pics soon!
