[DeTomaso] NPC Special Thanks

[gt40 at sbcglobal.net]

Beautiful car Ed, and I bet it goes like a bat out of Hell!

More importantly, you show a lot of character and class by thanking all 
those who helped.

Drive the heck out of it! Drives (pun intended) me crazy when I see those 
cars on BAT that are 10 years old and have 73 miles on them!
