Been up all night trying to figure out this puzzle. :yellin: I have narrowed it down to three likely members.Lockdoc and Scarecrow or Cobra's Dad.

Scarecrow is the leading one-PM's exchanged

Corbra's Dad because he test drove at NECO

Lockdoc because the picture looks like the back of a mobile home.

But now that it is gone,surely the next build will include a engine bigger than Peter's. =D> =D>

Well Bill....sorry to see her go, but it's purely a financial decision. Once Jessie heads off to college in a year, we'll see how finances are and I will most likely build a SPB-2. If you end up selling your 4x4, THEN I know the world is going to hell in a hand basket!

The correct buyer has been identified by one of the posters through a PM to me...and NO GEJ it wasn't your PM! :poke:

Wow this is great (dont throw stones at me) ... SPB is still in the family being shared and to allow for new owner to experience some hella fun while turning heads. Dean and family still here (dont you DARE go anywhere) and though you may not have SPB you are part of the AS family. Uh ... 1 year flies by fast btw :)

I really hope you guys took some really good photos for the hand off. As well maybe a few last moment leg stretching in SPB.

Nope!

Actually I had just logged in and this was the first thing I saw so I had to jump into this thread. Case of offroaders intuition I guess :yawinkle:

I hope Locdoc enjoys it man.

I'm really glad to see it went to someone not only in the ASV family but who also had some wrench time in it aswell.
