    It's pretty cool when you...

    ...outshine a Maserati.

    The wife and I were shopping on the weekend and stopped in the parking lot to ogle a beautiful Maserati convertible. A women walks up saying..."don't often see one of those in Kamloops". Thinking she was referring to the car, I agreed that a Maserati like that was not often seen around our town. "Oh", she said, "I was talking about seeing a guy in a kilt, but I guess the car's OK too". A short discussion on kilts and geneology ensued, and we parted ways...me with a big smile on my face, and the wife wishing she had the Maserati!

    The Maserati may do 185, but the Kilt goes at least one better, probably more.

    Since you managed to outshine a Maserati, perhaps she should realize you are keeper!

    Thanks for sharing another story regarding the power of the kilt.

    Kilt on!!

    Nice story, thanks for posting it... The kilt had more power than the Maserati for that woman.

    And the funny thing is: for a city of its size, there are a HUGE number of us in it who regularly go kilted! You, me, at least four other guys I know, and there's a guy I see downtown on the odd sunny Saturday whom I have yet to meet, and several young dudes in contemporaries.

    We gotta try harder.
