I've been away from the forum for quite a while so thought I would post a few pics 'From the Past' to kind of keep in touch with everybody.
Hope to be adding more soon with my recently purchased new camrea.

Hey Jim! Great to see you back around these parts! Hope all is good for you and Darla....

I was thinking about you the other day - I was on Fikse's web site and saw a pic of your car there - I'm now a Fikse dealer.

Take care and keep in touch!
