Figured since most of our Western and Yankee members have never seen cotton "in the wild" I'd show off the car and educate lol-2.gif

Great pic with the white on white Bill. I was just driving through GA last week coming back from Petit le Mans and through cotton country. One of the best parts of that drive, and really a pretty part about living in the South. The orange blossoms in bloom on the way to Sebring are even better!

Maybe so; however, you don't have "Gone With the Wind" to immortalize "King Cotton"! smile.gif

Beautiful pix, beautiful car. Reminds me of home and how much work raising cotton was way back then.

Bill i think a better picture would have been IN the cotton field, but still I like!!

-california also produces more cheese than Wisconsin!!!
- South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia too!

yes , the green car in the christmas tree farm, and you will have to come up with a good backdrop for the black car too!

You'll have to ask SUNAB914 about that.... lol-2.gif

At least they match on the front and on the rear biggrin.gif

1ST, I can't remeber how I ended up doing that either. Car does handle very well, right Bill?
2nd: Bill I need my car back: 74 venice blue got totaled on I-95 last night. I got rear ended really bad. I'm ok, just very sore. Could have been alot worse for me.
Now to deal with insurance, try to buy it back for parts and move on. I might be out the 914 world.
Sorry to hijack; I will post pics later.
SUNAB914
Bill,
Your car should be up for Car of the Month! Looks Great!

Bill- make him a deal on the roller.

He may be able to pull his motor and tranny from the other one...

He already had one white car! poke.gif

In all seriousness, Chris can put his engine and transmission in and use it until he gets his fixed! I'll even let him take his engine and transmission back out of it when he's done! lol-2.gif
