Lunched at the Killarney House yesterday, quaffing Stout while you worked over your P car. Win win for both of us.

That car looks amazing, I salute you, Nathan.

Tragically, if I attempted same here right now it would be dusted with pollen and camouflaged with bird-poo by the next morning!

(We have very horny and aggressive blue-**** bombing about at this time of the year. They settle on the car's wing-mirror and attack their own reflection......)

1. Car looks stunning.
2. You forgot to remove the orange masking tape on the side markers

Looks good Nathan. Black cars look so good when all shined up.

I'd like to not have a front plate but MD state cops don't cut you any slack. A couple of years ago I got a ticket for having an illegal license plate bracket (WeatherTech ClearCover) because you can't have anything covering your plate in MD.

Believe it or not I have lived about 3 miles from Killarney House for 15 years and I have never been there. One of these days...
