As I'm sure most of us have heard on the news reports, things are very difficult in Venezuela right now. The pictures on this page, from young Luis Miguel, show him enjoying his 1960 CJ-3B with his friends near Caracas last year, well before the general strike in Venezuela began. The photos are certainly a good antidote for anybody in North America who's got the winter blahs. They remind me of the good time I had visiting the country a few years ago, and make me hope that the political situation there gets settled peacefully soon. Thanks to Luis for sending the photos. -- Derek Redmond
