>>I'm just glad we agree on SOMETHING hahaha. FYI, I have been to Hot Springs, AK a zillion times - wonderful place - and great roads if you drive a tiny sports car. Is that where Hot Springs Village is?

>>Hot Springs Village is about 20 minutes north of Hot Springs. It is the largest gated community in the United States. It has 11 lakes, 9 golf courses, bike and hiking trails, a state of the art fitness center and more. We just love it. The people here are the friendliest people that I have ever met.

>I will have to google that one. I assume it's not a Dale Webb community? Seems like it's too large to be one of those.

>>I agree with you about the roads. I think that they never heard of a straight line in this neck of the woods but that is alright with me. I drive a mini cooper.

>I used to go every October (right around the time the trees are all changing colors) with my parents and the Alfa Romeo owner's club. I suspect the odds of something actually happening when you turn the key in your mini-cooper are a lot better than what happens when you try to start an Alfa though...hahaha That is a great time of year to be there though.

As long as it is one of the Beamer Coopers, you are certainly correct. But the old english ones can be troublesome as well, even if they have their own charm when weaseling through corners or into parking space ;-)
