Looks like lots of fun.

I was VERY flattered when my kids decided to carve
their own Pinewood Derby cars this year, and chose two
of their dad's cars for their creations:

My son chose to carve a replica of my 67 Mark 5, and
my daughter chose to carve a replica of my 1964
Amphicar!

They both look great. I wish there was a way to post
photos at this site. Perhaps we should open up the
discussion of switching to Yahoo again.
