Default Littlebigfish is finally ONVESL

Well I got word yesterday that I am finally ONVESL. It's been a long wait but its almost over. The Virgo Leader (that's a ship name) is due to arrive at the port of San Diego 3/12/06. I can't help but thinking of a perplexingly simlar feeling I had back in the day when when my girlfriend enticed me with notion that prom night was sure to be a very special one if i could just remain patient.

All allegories aside, I am truly excited as this is my first P-Car. Thanks to all of you who have answered all my questions and helped me ultimately create the what promises to be a very special car.

Once I am in port I will search out my successor!

Fish, did Ben assign the avatar to you? It's his and you better ask him! The last guy who used it without consent got his vessel torpedoed. Sunk with the Porsche. Ben appears to have good contacts...

Okay, apparently he's okay with it. No torpedoes this time.

Yes, Ben has given his blessing. Ronmart carried on the tradition of seeking out his successor in a prior head waiter thread. It seemed I had the longest wait of the responders so i PM'd Ben today.

LOL ... Wolfgang, that's way too funny. But no, the poor guy didn't know it was my creation. He's not to blame, he thought it was in the public domain. Guess it must really look genuine, huh?

I think the latest avatar is a move in the right direction.
