Ray I think you're right about that being Collin's old car. I spotted it immediately too.

Did anyone do a 12A count for the last OGTA meeting, the one Kristy and I missed?

Collin's FC was red, looked pretty nice actually, but he decided it needed to be blue.

So he got some "friends" to give him a great deal on a "professional" paint job, which came out looking not quite as nice as he imagined it would. He sold it not long after that.

So if the paint looks fairly recent (2-3 years) and is metallic blue orange peel, it just might be his.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Hey, you're the guy about the parts! lol

Not sure if that's Collins old car or not. You bought it from Austin, right? Does it have holes from where a rear wrap around spoiler once was? If it still has the aluminum hood on it, is it black on the bottom? Does that drivers side mirror have a chip on the inside lip? I could tell if I saw it in person.

Here are some of the last pictures of the red to blue car that was Collins.

It doesnt have the holes for the spoiler, Wish it did, No aluminum hood, this one is heavy, and one of the mirrors is chipped, but forgot which one.

Did you recently have it painted blue when you bought it? Because I thought it was red/black when Austin had it. That's what's making everyone think it was Collin's old FC.

Yeah, I used to have one of those when I lived in Massachusetts.

Gas mileage was terrible.

Sounds good Jeramie, I'll try to sneak out when my wife's not watching. Sure beats church.

Aaron, Road Atlanta is worth the trip, you can camp out on the premises. Which us folks who come from large families know, is a great deal.

You guys should come on down, maybe the Mitty next spring?

Hey all, I am just coming up for air. I took on a project at work that was at that special point where the leaders start looking for the innocent people to punish them. Any way, after a month of long days I am starting to have a life again.

I see Ray added a 4x4 RX-7 to the fleet, Collin's car has resurfaced, and it seems someone had flashback to a Linda Ronstadt concert. Everything seems normal here. Good to be back...

Yep ^, that's why they have to pay us to do it. OK, I'll bite, what's the significance of the plant? Is there an 1st gen under there?

No, just a pretty plant in the yard. It's some kind of bamboo, turns that bright red color in mid September.

Hey, the matte look is the rage now. Collin was just ahead of his time.
