Wow....looking Great Joe....Looks like my Mini will have a shinier squarer fronted Twin :D

Woody I think we should all go over to TMGs some weekend and get the Marcos on the road :idea:
And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!
