Underneath it's a BMW Z3!

I'm not sure what the classes are at the Grand National Roadster Show, but rest assured Johnny won his class at it last weekend. Like that MG British V8

When I last looked John's Ford held a slender lead in the Gold Eagle Cool Rides Pole, thanks to every one who has voted, there is still time to vote today, for a second time too if you voted yesterday, to make sure John's 1929 Ford Model A seal's the deal on this llink

Like to pass on Johnny Martinez's thanks along with my own to every one who joined me in voting Johnny's 1929 Model A the Gold Eagle coolest ride of the month, with an effort and by a small margin [url="http://"%20<a%20href="http://www.goldeagle.com/event_marketing/coolridesonline.aspx""%20target="_blank">http://www.goldeagle...g/c...line.aspx"</a>"]we did it[/url] ! Congrtulations Johnny
