Hi to the MMA crew,

I'm finally a member after much excuses! So Yes, im the newbe

68 rhd barracuda with the orginial owner (circa1969), Mr Landseer...what a great chap he must have been !

I'm pretty lucky actually to have this opportunity to be its next caregiver.

I hope my efforts does it justice.
