Ah-sum shots as usual Jim... Congrats on the award!

Is Darla trying to hint in that last pic that she wants another orange (whatever color that is, forgive me!) Vette? Maybe they'll trade straight up for her C6?

The very first shot with Superman behind your Vette... VERY, VERY COOL!!! Neat pic!!

You're in our thoughts... Take care.

There were alot of nice cars in our class, all C5s and C6s were in one class together along with many other custom trucks, cars and Suv's. Jim, Todd, and I all recieved awards. Hopefully they will add more classes next year becuase several nice cars were left out.

Thanks Bob.. ...you wouldn't believe the number of shots I delete just to end up with few decent ones.. ...but that's one of the great features of the digital age of photography that's available now...

Jim, great pics!! You are getting better and better at taking the shots too! It looks like you may have another enlargement or poster quality shot with that first shot with your car below Superman! Keep sharing, you only go to about a 10000 shows more than I do!

You're in our thoughts... Take care.
Thanks Jon, I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers...
That beautifully restored red C2 vette that Darla was posing with in the other pic belongs to forum member T.J. Bottoms (tjb05c6) dad . He's a great guy but not a chance we would be able to talk him into that kind of deal without a ton of boot to go with it..it's one awesome ride...
Here's another shot of it.
