Ray,
That can't be a real Enzo under the skin can it? Naa can't be.
Cool car and picture though!!
Tuesday morning at 1:00 am as I drove by the salt flats I waved at ya, did
you see me?
The place sure looked dark, was anyone out there on Monday Night/Tuesay
early am?
Dr. Z.
No I didn't stop at the falls, I didn't even know about them. I was too
focused on cars, cars, cars, beaches, and cars. Maybe next time by.
Carl
Nice pics of the G-daughter, she is very photogenic! Good shots!!
