sunday 12-23-07

finally getting colder... "to little to late" i hope not.. i'm hopping we can keep whats left of the base!! mother nature was good to us for the last couple weeks but she had a "hot flash" this last 5days and it was brutal on the snow!!

but looks like the white stuff is coming!

CHEERS!

yup '94... it's pretty much as "mint" as i think it could be with 4k miles on it!! really only one scratch on the hood (will be buffed out eventually) and the seat is in mint shape with no wear or tears.... the guy was pretty meticulous about his sleds.... amazing that it's 13+years old!... good second sled for the gf.. she can keep this one when i get my new one (i've got the bug now)!!LOL..... another expensive hobby!!

CHEERS TO PLAYING IN THE WHITE STUFF!!
