That was pretty, wasn't it? I'm just waiting for Seattle and Cleveland to
meet up in the AL Championships and for Seattle to choke per usual -- after
breaking the record for most wins/season of course so everyone expects them
to take the World Series. *sigh* That's Seattle for ya, pick a sport..any
sport. :) (fut off-topic.fun for this one <G>)

Thanks Adrian -- The idea started with the wheels for the jets last week and
then it was a matter of deciding how best to attach them to some form of
frame. I would have liked to have gone with a more "bike" style frame like
Paul Hartzog's Butt-Buster (Who ya gonna call??) and others, but decided to
take a more "sports car" type of approach after staring at the Shell Promo
sets sitting on my shelf and the Ferrari sports car that came with them.
Not sure it worked as .well. as I'd have liked but eh... it's my first
attempt. I might try again. :)
