Alan,
I hope you're high and dry being as there has already been 16" of rain in Melbourne... how far is that from you?
Looks and sounds good.

Dale, it's not an actual Cherry Bomb, but I'm certain it's very similar though....and yes a cat too....both straight from the Jegs
catalog.

Really! He must be a spry old devil, then. My own dad turns 90 tomorrow.
Hey, congrats also on the MK distributorship. I'm glad to see that your automotive efforts are really gaining momentum this year.

Bob, I've lived here since '94..I think my accent will be with me for life.....not even trying to lose it as it's been pretty good
for me over here..
Pete, thanks, yeah my dad turned 80 this year...loves to get involved...he's finding out just how much cars have changed since he was tinkering
with them 40 years ago.....
