VTKidder · 07-22-2003, 12:05 PM

It's always a plus having mother's support. Makes it easier to justify why you need to spend every penny you have on it!

cheyguy · 07-22-2003, 12:10 PM

Nice find! I've been on the lookout for one for a while now, but they seem to be practically non-existent in Mid. Tenn.

**raggedjim** · 07-22-2003, 12:25 PM

I saw this on the board last week and ALMOST bought it, but I couldn't hide it from my wife...

Looks like a keeper!

cheyguy--I bought it about an hour south of you lol........

SweetandLong68--Sparta/Cookville is about 50 miles from me east of nashville

**Palf70Step** · 07-22-2003, 12:32 PM

Congrats Keith! So the boss is going to let go of her S10 for this one. Good choice. Be looking forward to seeing one of them next year at Pigeon Forge.

cheyguy · 07-22-2003, 01:35 PM

SweetandLong: Manchester is about 60 miles SW of Sparta, or 60 miles SE of Nashville. It's really beautiful around Sparta!

Meathead95: That figures! That's 2 close ones I've missed out on recently.
