My reference was actually to an old movie from the 1970's called Aloha Bobbie And Rose; which also sparked my love for 1960's and 1970's "American Muscle Cars"...Bobbie drove an awesome Camaro in the movie. So, THANK YOU right back attcha, as we say here...or as I think they say down-under...bloody well right! LOL. Your prayers mean the most though, so God Bless you too, you wonder from down-under. :) You've made my day here in Washington state.
