- The engine is back
- I chose exactly the same red that I have on the roof …
- … beautiful combination. Do you like it?

Thanks Bob - enjoy it!


And here come the next pictures:

Well Dan,

I might be wrong, but I don't think so. I believe that this will be the best solution for you! Mostly next October you can compare it!
