lowering it as well but never got around to it. After seeing these photos I also remember the gloved hand on the red 250.
My wife says that I have a photographic memory but I think it's starting to get full :-)

As for the last photo, I had the CMC #14 car also but sold it during my major downsizing around 2011. I'm glad that I keep photos of all the models I sell so I can still look at them virtually.
