Someone told me Norfolk (Nor-Folk) as we pronounce it up here is "Nor-Fick" down there. True?

For all you Virginians keeping track on rosters. I was just on ebay. The old Fairfax County, VA. Foam 26
E\-One Titan is listed for sale there. Asking $110,000. In the information it states that it is currently 25 miles outside of Savannah, GA. at a Shop. So, I'm guessing a dealer had purchased it.

If you replace the "i" with a "u" that is closer to our pronunciation! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Good photos Trey.
I guess this will be the spare once the new rig is put into service. What year is this none?
