    We seem to be losing old rodders weekly, lately. We all need to sit down and listen to the old guys every chance we get. You west cost guys should take advantage of the opportunity, having so many of the old guard nearby.

    He definately made history with the most cloned Merc ever, Any Merc that has been chopped and hardtopped with the sweeping stainless glass frames will always carry his name "Matranga Style" My condolences to his family and close friends.
