Hello All,

Recently purchased my 01 Coupe a few weeks ago. Drove it back across the state of Florida where it finally eclipsed 13,000 miles. Lurked here plenty for some research when I was shopping around. Now that I own one, I figured I might as well register. Anyways, here's the only decent pic I have currently (from the day I bought it) as it needs a bath something fierce.

None of the above ----

I really enjoy seeing my tax dollars at work.
Hopefully the A-10s will be around for a long time.

Welcome to the forum --- that's great looking C2

Word of advice --starting a new thread introducing yourself and your collection --
you'll get a much better response.

Just go to the "new members - intro" page and select "new thread" towards the upper left and you'll be ready to go.
