Alright folks,
There's been a ghastly silence here surrounding the unveiling of Kangi's Tank .... at first I thought you were all just being polite and waiting for her to get back from her trip so she could have the first word ....

Now that she's back, and there's STILL no comment, I'm afraid maybe its about me and my "shoplifting" of photos from other websites [you'll note I did give them credit .... and I still consider this "private" or educational use :o) ]....

So come on, loosen up already .... did I pick the right one? or do you still think she'd be better off with a Hum Vee ??
