Made the local newspaper!
Last Sunday I was Gearhead of the week in the local newspaper. the Champaign urbana news gazette in Champaign Illinois has a weekly feature on local car guys in print and online. So forgive me for bragging but Your friends and relatives have to nominate you to be featured.
You can see the video online@ (champaign urbana news gazette/gearhead). |
