Va Va Vroom!
For a couple of years I hinted to Lee that I'd love another smallframe, and for my birthday in 2004 he bought a 50 Special from Pacemaker Jamie. Then we built the garage in 2005 that he'd need to work on it in, and now in March 2006 it's finally on the road! Here are before, during and after photos...
