    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
    "mental illness.

    The "GSX" has arrived.

    Save the postcard Viking....it is probably worth much more than what your effort sending it in will net ....

    Re: Yes, No?

    Just a slight bit off subject. How many of you have the card with the portfolio and how many have the engraved nameplate with the original owner's name? I am just curious as to how often this was done.

    VIKING: I xeroxed a card several years ago and sent it (in an envelope) to the address on the front. Hope springs eternal. Came back in less than a week, marked "No such address." Oh well....

    MARK: One of my portfolios has the brass nameplate: "Handcrafted expressly for Richard J. Bianchini."

    P.S. Quiz for the day: Who knows what Reatta part number 25537534 is? Hint: has to do with one of the above items.

    We have 3 Reattas and none of them, and none that I've seen in person, have had the plate. People must have been lazy.

    I know Trofeos had the owner name displayed on the CRT

    Re: Yes, No?

    I sent the card in when I bought my Reatta new in 1990. If I remember right, it didn't take long for the plate to arrive. My wife liked it, so she applied it to the dash to my dismay.
