Espen:
You need to plan on shipping this jewel to the states next year for Co-Vention in Dayton, OH. I could see both you and Mike taking some Gold home from that event and we'd all get to drool on the towels you would, of course, provide for such purpose.

Thanks guy's

Got my new licens plates today, here in Norway it is a real hassle but after bending the rules a little I got them in US size.
For older cars you can chose your numpers if they are free, you have to take minimum one letter (max 2) "P" is not in use and 3-5 numbers, it would have been nice to have I-971 or P-455 but they are long gone.
Anyways I guess you can figure out the meaning of mine
