Ooooh Justin, not the Pokey Mobile! (hehe I've just it all tonight).
That's a shame to loose mate.
Been through a house fire and all, know what it's like to loose it all.

Reall bugger, yes, just hope the transition is smooth for ya.

Hope to see a new "pokey" out there real soon!

Nice looking pickup Schultzie.

I think you need to take some more night shots.... with some more cars

I'm still regretting whimping Melton last June. Luckily Pearly gave me something to get excited about last Sunday.
