Bud, I put a 3 of your pictures up on my page to show everyone this beauty,
like Fred Thomas said I would have to get a loan to buy lights for my cars
but I think that you've started something new, we should all follow you and
do the same. They have a Christmas Boat parade here in Ft Lauderdale and
they decorate the boats like that (advantages of a warm climate) why not
show others what we are proud of.
Enjoy, the link is http://www.cocoinc.com/jack/cars.htm

Here's some shots I took. A little blurry on most and some real artsy
ones, but you can kinda get the idea of how the TR6 looks. I guess I
should try the tripod. People have been spreading the word about the
lighted car and I've noticed more traffic on my street. One of my
daughters HS friends even told her at school that the car looked
cool...high praise from the younger generation. My daughter's response,
"My father is psycho."
Happy Holidays
Bud
