Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks! I’m sort of in love with that square. It’s just so simple, but it works. Same could be said for the B-52, I suppose...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Last look at the old girl for a while. Duty calls again and thankfully good friends step in to help out. At least I know while I’m away she’s in good company and in good hands

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
It comes and goes, sometimes you just need a break. I unfortunately didn’t have time available for one. Give me a week away from her and I’ll be in full lust again...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Be safe on Your 36 month Vacation. I'll miss the updates. Keep a picture of that pretty face behind the ones that matter the most.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
