[BaadAssGremlins] Re:BEAUTIFUL 72 X in Georgia!!

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

Duane,
Welcome to BAG! Your ride is AWESOME! Where in GA do you reside? I'm 
not too far away - located in Montgomery, AL. My baby (under 
lumina333 folder) is not too far from cranking up. I will get newer 
photos in there soon. Also check out the AMO SE Regional folder for 
photos of the show that took place in Atlanta last weekend. Were you 
there? I know your car wasn't; I would have remembered it. Are you a 
Peach State AMO member?
