Targa Newfoundland Tid-Bits

There was a rapper some years ago who wore flip-up sunglasses, giving them their fifteen minutes of coolness.

But now?

I mentioned to multi-time Targa Newfoundland winner Roy Hopkins that about the nerdiest thing you could imagine was a rally car driver wearing flip-up sunglasses.

Said Roy, “They’re a great idea! Flip them down when the sun comes out, back up when it goes behind the clouds! I’d wear some, if I had them.”

Too bad I didn’t have a spare pair to lend him…

His co-driver, Adrienne Hughes, added, “Nerdiness is part of being a rallier!”

Ahem - that'd be me.

Flip-ups may be nerdy, but nothing works better on prescription glasses on a bright sunny summer day when you suddenly enter a long dark subway or dark tunnel. By the way, what's nerdy about safety and convenience in one handy package?
