    Who would have thought we could expand our vocabulary here? Won't score you many points playing SCRABBLE though.

    I'd be in on the project. Looks dangerous enough to be fun.

    Ziggy, we've probably forgotten even if it was posted in the ancient past.

    We had a great Morgan event in Asheville last week. Here is the drive up the Mt. Pisgah switchbacks.

    It looks like BSA 3 wheeler FWD setup. BSA got it from Alvis and used it in the BSA Scout 4 wheel car too.

    I agree 100%. Stefan can explain how he draws until the cows come home. I still can't do it but I appreciate his work. I like how he focuses on one area, maybe the most important part and everything else fades away from there.
