    Well, the black car is a new Jag Coupe Type R, actually pretty small.

    Were you asking about the pickup like shot at the end of the album?

    It was a bit different.

    Yeah. It is definitely a Holden UTE. Didn't think those were able to be brought to the states.

    Well I'll agree that their engines do. My windscreen has not thrown a timing chain yet or carboned up. :smilewinkgrin:

    Yup:Thumbsup:

    I replace my sandblasted OEM glass with a Pilkington a few years (5+) ago and it has held up so much better than the OEM.

    Now I need to replace it again (next Spring) because coming home from the Dragon this year a HUGE rock cracked the glass but only an inch long dead center low.

    Today was good, missed the Tornados and had a nice drive up North with the Club.

    One of our favorite roads, still closed up the Canyon from last fall, sadly! :(

    A teaser picture, look in the album for some of the edge road crumble along the creek.

    Painted the black parts of my bumper today with texture paint that matches the OEM finish perfectly so I made a little progress.

    Guess I need to check this out a little bit if it shows up in July. :)

    Or later this month as another C&C will be on the 21st at a Boulder location. Good reason to go take some pictures. :) :)

    Ok, I have a State of NC question. Why do some license plates have Red letters and numbers and some have Blue ones?

    Every year when I go to the Dragon I notice this.

    Oh and today I wet sanded my bumper w/ 320, 500, 1000, 1500 and I am just waiting on paint now. :nonod:

    When we were there in January, we thought the plates were for Republicans and Democrats. Apparently the Independents don't have cars. :lol:
