Well I said lower class in retrospect to our pay

I always said the same thing about them talking heads. I never wore a suit, and never plan to, just don't look very comfortable to me. I'll have a redneck wedding weather the ole lady likes it or not.

I like my old Lester wheels!!

And, yes, the Alfas were drop dead beautiful. Ever see the desmo M-B of the 1950's?

Is that the 45 Magnum built by Pete Hill? He has one in his shop he did last winter. I'll have to check out the mag this week to see.
