You realize Keith, that the guy that always used to show up at our tent at the Classic with about 50 of your books in tow to have everyone autograph each one is going to have to start all over again.....

Anybody remember the guys at Gene's funeral celebration at the Berg shop going around and getting autographs.  They never did get Gene's though.  Sounds like this will start it all over again.

I think Keith shoul dhave a rat rod on the cover!  Wink

Actually, maybe Keith would be willing to put a list of cars or events he has cover quality photos of, or could get photos of, and let us choose through a poll. Just a thought.  Grin
