I think Don is the guy that cleaned up a pic of my GMT for me once?

It is the one I use the most often when showing it off, even though I no longer have it, was that you?

Welcome, By The Way

See? That TT blue sub has a round 'S', unlike the flat S that is on the fakes that JJ wears. Man, it's easy to spot fakes these days.
