Just trying to keep up with you Chuck.

PAUL SS 12-04-2011 02:53 PM

In keeping with a developing theme of red, white, blue, black and gray/silver/chrome I also brought the rear bow tie up to date.
http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...s/DSCN0168.jpg
Maybe someday a nice "SS" will replace the bowtie, but this is it for now.

Next, a better camera.

AngelSpeedFreak 12-04-2011 03:01 PM

that bowtie looks really good...
