Anniversary present - for my car !
On Feb 1st, 08, I had the honor and privilege of fulfilling a multi decade goal of acquiring a symbol of beauty and automotive excellence. And on the 1 year anniversary, I did for the car what we often do for ourselves.... A trip to the Spa.... no, not the track, but the home of master detailer Todd Helme.... He had my car for 5 days, and not only did he get the gunk out, but the attention to the little things have brought the shine back to my car and now this proud owner is even more enamored with his machine.

Not only did I get an incredible detailing, but i've learned numerous tricks of the trade to keep the car in top shape.

Thanks Todd....
it's a beautiful car

The car looks amazing. The lighter interior is a nice change from the normal Red/Tan.
