Seriously, though, I wonder what they'll finally accept when someone does "make an offer". Since the fastback models start off with a 1500lb gross-weight, I wonder how much is left after the conversion and filling the long-range tanks? Sure looks like fun!

We're finally selling Sue's parents house (Sue gets half). I wonder what I'd have to do to talk her into an O-320 for our 150C?? Yeh, I know.

Sure is pretty. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 35,592 Likes: 566 DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!! | | DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!!

Fuddy wins the prize. Check out the difference between the polished and un-polished metal next to each other. That is a stunning job!
