Nice looking convertible.  What octane does the turbo use?

Cool car, G!  Nothing like a convertible... the crappy day you just had melts away when you put that top down.

HA!  Yep, I was there when that fly brutaly attacked Gary on RT 89. Wasn't a pretty sight... The smashed windshield is simply the casulties of war.Grin

Beautiful machine, with a turbo, no less. G, with that convertible, it opens up new possibilities to bringing home VERY tall boat anchors from Hosstraders, OM.

When are you going to mount the antenna? Definitely a babe magnet.

Only thing sexier than all the filthy ham gear is the filthy ham himself.

All things look better topless!

Nice ride OM, driving one of those myself.
The old Volvo with 224K mile is in the stable until the cold WX hits.

The best part is Weather Band on the radio, just far too cool.
Or playing with the SID and setting speed warning, trip calculations, very gagetful.
Turbo, 5 speed with black on black is the new hottness!

The new UJR ride, sans antennas

Gary,Bruce,
