Quoting Sven ;o) Yeah it's the same here regarding the Christmas shopping. Great to hear that you're fine. :) Yeah, was really surprised when I found out that Kat Dennings is from there. Instantly had your truck in mind when I read Bryn Mawr. Katharine Hepburn graduated at their College. Wish you a great day and send over lovely greets :)

That's really cool to know! Have a great day (or evening) as well haha!

Quoting Sven ;o) Yes, I'm doing well my friend. Finally I was able to send a couple Christmas packages over to our friends in the US. Hope they all arrive without any problems. Btw, a very nice fact I found out recently: One of my favorite actors is born in Bryn Mawr. It's Kat Dennings. What about you my friend? Apart from being busy everythings fine?

Awesome! Oh wow! I didn’t know Kat Dennings was from there either! I’m doing well! Just trying to get all my Christmas shopping done before all the chaos begins haha! I hope to be done this weekend, but we’ll see :)

I like it

Quoting Jesse Long I wonder if anyone will ever do a rotating front hood light on a fire truck sometime?

People have done Rotorays before; however, they glue the parts together.
