    I saw this the day after thanksgiving this year and it is every bit as cool as it looks. It looks like they took all the equipment out of it since I last saw it. The police chief mentioned it was for sale but I wasn't sure how motivated they were to get rid of it.... You'll have to let us know if it ends up selling!

        It's coming up GMR to join my fleet of 101's. I agree I'm not a fan of the orange but will make a good 101 for some one once Taylor goes over it and get I get it back up for sale.

                Hi Derek. The latest 101 arrive from across the pond yet? Still thinking I should have one. My bride might think otherwise though. Would like to pop up to check them out some time before things get to busy here. Send me an email or PM when you get it. Thanks.
