I realized that there are probably a bunch of new Bonneville enthusiasts that had never heard of or seen my Bonneville so I thought I'd share some memories and hopefully inspire some new modders :)

Bound to happen...

I just sold my 8-Ball helmet not too long ago....beginning to wish I hadn't. Feeling a bit nostalgic now, lol.

Here is a pic of MiniRogue with it on in the back seat of 8-ball...

Hard to believe he is 14 now.....sigh.

These videos give me massive feels. I remember finding them back in the day when I was a wee lad in grade school and wanting my Bonne to perform like that. Especially the "on LSD" video!

Thanks, it was a blast to drive. Winter was a bit scary though....

I honestly don't know. Not sure what Rob ended up doing with it. Wouldn't it be cool if it ended up in a racing boat?

Then I've accomplished my goal of inspiring others. Thanks :)
