yamahazaki Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Nice green color. On paper I wouldn't think it would work well with the red, but indeed it does. And you have to follow up on that phone number business and post what happened if so! Time to change your avatar me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
