^ Sounds like the exact outfit you can buy at the mall now.....missing buttons and lots of worn out jeans.....lol
No thats not the school JohnnyC.....I sit at the school every day for 70 minutes just to get "my" parking space and wait for the kiddies to get out.....One of those soccer moms roll in to my space and I get all anxious.......lol
Wanted to take the soft top off for this nice stretch of sunshine and got cooked good for a couple days....
Edit: Its the museum close to home JohnnyC....I do like playing on the train though....

Decided I didnt like the strapless bikini so I made a new one with straps....
BBQBOY - If you have a windshield channel I'll bring you a bikini in your choice of color (black, khaki, or OD Green) since you're so
generous with the bumper....
If you don't have a windshield channel maybe someone else has one that they don't want/use or you could order one if you want...
