On our recent trip, my daughter, who just became a teenager kept going on about Porsches (she's a dreamer... :-), but my son, who is two years younger is much more grounded: "I want a Westy, Dad." A proud moment... :-)

He's repeated it several times since then, so I guess I better start looking for another Westy... (and maybe a nice 70s 911) ;-)
