This Fox must be awesome to drive - There's almost more in front than off the back, and its a quad! Like driving from the jumpseats...very cool. And I wonder what the reflection of the Roto-Ray gleaming off the pressure ball up front looks like at night. Awesome.



Great photos, and Happy Holidays to everybody

Thanks,

Gary
