That's weird. JP has seen them. Ok, lets see if this works...

Thanks man!

Gee, make it black and white and we have another double for Alvin Karpis. Karpis was not quite as sharp a dresser though.

Regards to all,

Hey, those are great pics! What a beautiful suit!

Lauren

 

[ITG]

Wow, WR, you're lookin' sharp! For a second I thought I had traveled back in time. (for a split second anyway)

 

[Wild Root]

Thanks so much for the nice words! Lauren, that photo was taken before I met up with you, Dan and Josh at the Queen Mary! That's the suit I wore when I hung out with you all.

Any way, I'll do some photoshoping and get it looking like an old photo.

Root.

PS. If you look at it in the way of an original color photo, it works that way too!

I just stumbled onto this thread...

Wild Root - I think I saw your car in the parking lot at the Fort MacArthur Event 2/26... sweeeeeeeeeeet..... :clap

 

[Wild Root]

Cool. She kind of sticks out above the rest.

It's a 46 Plymouth Special Deluxe. Daily driver she is!

Wildroot:
Love your ride! Obviously well-maintained. Great photos.

I have to say that I love to see a man in suit--especially one standing next to a gorgeous classic car! How I long to see such a thing more often--the current fashions leave much to be desired in my book.

(Oh, and I rather enjoy hearing someone refer to his car by her pet name!)

 

[Wild Root]

Thank you Jitterbugdoll! I am flattered what can I say.

Say, any time you may be in the LA area, look me up and I'll show you the place to jitterbug!

Root.

Sure thing, Wild Root! But you must give me a lift in your car!

Aside from sitting in a stunning 1930-something Cadillac (I know the 70+ year old owner rather enjoyed telling me to “go ahead, test out the backseat� ) and a brief spin in a '55 Chevy, I don't believe I've ever had a real ride in a vintage car!

 

[Wild Root]

Well, let me put it this way, if you made it out here, you would need a driver to show you around the place any way. And I only have one car which is the 46.

Root.

PS. I really dig the avatar! Where did you find that photo? And, could you email me a large format copy of it? It's just the coolest!

Don't get in the car with Alvin Karpis! You might end up at a bank robbery.

Regards to all,

Dude, Shhhhhhhhh! You blew my cover!

Great!

Root.

PS. Don't pay any attention to JP. He's just board.

Yep, all aboard!

Yeah, I thought so.
