^Cute kid and a Colin Chapman approved name to boot!

Congrats!

Brett- Congratulations. She looks like she is doing well. 2.6 lbs is definitely tiny, even for a girl, but she will thrive.

Thanks gents, she is tiny but doing well with the amazing care she (and the missus) has received here in Toronto.

Close to coming home (10-14 days) as a normal newborn

As for Gertrude there were lots of things Paul came across, means the bill will be much $$ than expected, but it happens when you have a 33 year old car with previous owners.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

Get ready for a series of unplanned/unexpected events starting with her early arrival.

Hey, a baby. Congrats! I was knee deep in an engine project last year when my second kid decided to show up too. Who needs sleep right? Sleep is for quitters.

I have never had the pleasure of owning one. Probably why I have never lost my license.

The car I mentioned was for a client.

A friend into warbirds named his daughter Allison. She is lucky he likes V12's or it might have been Cyclone or Wasp.

Don't drive a 458 Italia then. First time I drove one, thought I was doing 70 mph, looked down and found out I was at 125 mph and still accelerating hard

I have driven them but they just don't inspire me to want to drive them that way.

Brilliant engineering

Boring car
