Go Bedford OB or go home! I always say.

A victim of too many noggin knocks on the ice surface during her career,  Peggy Fleming had deteriorated mentally of late and sadly had taken to performing impromptu on asphalt and bus roofs.

To suggest that little Mary Lou Retton ,could in any way be asphalt for her currently running Greenville SC, “Knight of the Ice Busses” review is, in a word, preposterous

Man you're on thin ice discussing that JB; if Mary-Lou heard you she would flip.

@diecast1-24cars ...........I do enjoy mine Greg, and continue to watch for "orphaned" ones at auction...the areas most susceptible to loss or damage on a used unit seems to be the engine covers,the bug-eye headlights,and the rain/wind deflector strips running above the windows.....my closeups aren`t very well done but here are some to show detail
