It was about the fact of how I and a dance partner of mine put our German cars into steep local canyons, in separate but all too common local instances of deer-in-the-night antics. I went forward through the air like a spear and ended up in a redwood canyon about 60 vertical feet below the road; she went 88 vertical feet down an oak canyon backwards, staying on the ground. Same road, too; but on opposite sides of a small mountain range. Our line-of-sight travel into places unfit for anything but tanks were 100 feet (me in the 944) and 135 feet (her in the Euro 280SL.) Anyway, this friend said to me "What -- are the two of you Astaire and Rogers or something??!" So, in keeping with the theme... My Porsche 944 Crash Story Her Euro Mercedes 280SL Crash Story From the internet - - - - - - - - "...If you like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, you're going to love Top Hat. This film is quintessential Fred and Ginger, from the initial verbal sparring and mistaken identities that keep them apart, to the wonderful tap and partner dances which reconcile their differences and establish their love and equality as a couple..." Cynthia is an ex-girlfriend now, going on a year and a half. I can't imagine what it would be like to have gone off a cliff twice, for had she and I stayed together, it would have likely been me in the passenger seat with her that night in December, 1998. You are cliff dancer since this page was originally posted on 4 January 1999. Have fun, but dance carefully. And wear that seatbelt such that ye may dance again! Web page by Fred.
