A big (read very BIG) thanks to Expedition Imports, Goatwerks, this forum, and forum members for supporting our vehicles.

I saw this 712 this evening in Carlsbad Ca. Is the owner on this board? Would be great to meet up. I know that this is http://www.brewerytoursandiego.com. I did not know the vehicle resided in downtown Carlsbad.

You are correct! The actual images are much bigger. The image that google was allowed to index has been reduced by photo*ucket. If the photobucket account is "public" than you can drill down to the actual image. In this case the account for "rmf1958" is set as "private"...
