Anymore pics? This is a great thread!

That 53' pic and 71' pic is the classic picture. Truly defines the era and styles (colthing, hair etc.). Times has sure changed but passion still lives!!

Thanks for the great pics fellas.

This one "only" goes back to 1999, which is a long time in a young man's life.
In 2012 the boys are 23 and 26, In 1999 they were 10 and 13. The car, 1968.
