My 2 minutes of fame...

The Houston Chronicle features a local car each week... This was my week...

I know it's too small to read; couldn't figure out how to make it bigger. Did get a photo credit for Curtis & reference to the web site so hopefully it'll generate a little traffic too. Looks like an editing mistake on the last photo caption (I actually referenced Graham's car as the one I saw that hooked me), but overall, Heidi did a great job of distilling about bunch of my rambling into a pretty good summary.

Excellent, Rob!

I saved the picture onto my computer, then enlarged it to read the article.

But, I must disagree with one of your statements...

You KNOW that you will never be able to "call it done" !!!

THUMBS-UP, BUDDY!

Now you start charging for autographs

So very cool!

I think Heidi liked the words "orangey yellow".

There's a "zoom" option in the pull-down menus of many browser toolbars...

Way to go, Rob!

Thanks everyone. Rick, I invited Heidi to Cars & Coffee tomorrow; will see if she shows. Kind of doubt it.

<I>There's a "zoom" option in the pull-down menus of many browser toolbars...</I>

In Firefox, you can just hold down the Ctrl key and tap the "+" or "-" key on the numberpad to zoom in and out.

MGBV8 · March 02, 2013, 05:31:48 PM

Or Ctrl key & the the scroll wheel on the mouse.
