Title: Cal Look under the snow Post by: madfrog on December 18, 2009, 15:55:10 pm This morning Santa delivered my Christmas gift a little early!
A Cal Look under the snow is not a common sight I also made some nice (easy) drifts taking the beast home ;D (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/rebec1/67%20Sepia%20Brown/P1020504.jpg) (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/rebec1/67%20Sepia%20Brown/P1020507.jpg) (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/rebec1/67%20Sepia%20Brown/P1020510.jpg) But it is now safe and secure (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/rebec1/67%20Sepia%20Brown/P1020515.jpg) (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/rebec1/67%20Sepia%20Brown/P1020519.jpg) Thanks again Lanny, this car just leave me speechless... madfrog Title: Re: Cal Look under the snow Post by: speedwell on December 18, 2009, 16:00:09 pm cool gift from santa , he's generous :o :o

Title: Re: Cal Look under the snow Post by: madfrog on December 18, 2009, 18:56:59 pm Hope there wasn't any salt on the roads when you drove it home! the drive home wasn't part of the initial plan but I had no choice :-[ I cleaned up the underside as much as I could and will do some more tomorrow. This car is so nice to drive it will be driven and will inevitably get some rain, dirt, gravel... but will also get cleaned and waxed as well ;D madfrog Title: Re: Cal Look under the snow Post by: russ scott on December 18, 2009, 19:08:43 pm very cool you have two of Vancouvers nicest cars. congrats
