Brad,

I love your "Spree" graphics... the green background looks sweet on the orange paint job. Very good build, dude...! :smile:

Now... swap in an AF16!

later, jon

Great Job B-Rad!

All this time I thought all you had was jokes, but it turns out that you are a magician as well :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see the next one you pull out of your hat :thumbwink:
