You are on a roll with some of my favorites John. It’s really tough to pick my absolute favorite, it always ends up being a group of four or five models and I can’t break it down further, but this Poncho is high up on the pile! Your photos are spectacular as always!

This shot of yours is in a permanent place in my photo library.

@geoff-jowett That's the way I have them displayed Geoff. I hope you fill in the missing pieces.

I for one do not remember this one being offered by DM.  I love the red and white scheme and hate that I did not get it.

That's a beauty John, I passed on it after I removed the buttwart off my turquoise version. I do have the green ht though. That's my favorite. 😊

Your post jogged my memory of a model that I’ve been wanting for a long time John. It’s the kissin’ cousin to the Bonnie, the menacing black sheep of the family! I put an offer in, waiting with bated breath for a reply. The green Bonnie coupes entered the stratosphere a while back and don’t seem to be coming to earth in the future. You are correct bro Geno, it’s a magnificent model!
