Thanks everyone!!... I'm very honored if a bit embarrassed, to be the first member featured in this new section ....this is compounded by the fact that we have so many great cars on here that IMO are more worthy :oops: ....but that aside I am very proud of my car and happy to see it in the spotlight so to speak :D .... thanks again :grin:

PS. leave my legs out of it :wink:
