Default Falling in love with the L79's
I saw this car at all three of its Triple Diamond judging events back in 2018 and 2019 and fell in love with it and even kept photos of it on my phone. Little did I know that I'd have the opportunity to acquire it about six weeks ago. The stars really lined up for this one. Some cars just call you and this one called me.

Tim's modesty will not tell you just how highly awarded this car is. This is one of the "top of the heap" type cars. Not only does it have the highest accolades in the hobby, it scores at HIGH percentage levels.

Red on red is a panty dropper IMO

Tim, your character and friendly demeanor allows you to make these relationships. It's those relationships that brings these cars to you. Once again, well done my friend
