    Actually, I think I'm confusing the work of Tramp Graphics with his.  Probably not close.  But he was in the freebie challenge at some time.

    That's sad news.. To paraphrase Jone Donne "The death of a man, deminishes us all"

    That is a cool looking car!  My mind thinks, "Torpedo or submarine!"

    Tramp Graphics I am Familiar with. His cartoon monster trucks and his girl "Tommie" were very popular.

    We all had a friend in the freebie challenge I hosted for 7 years that was handicapped. His name was "BWS Man" and he did lots of motorcycles. He would enter the freebie challenge contest almost every month. Everybody loved him. He went to the doctor one day and was told that he had a serious bone cancer in his left leg. He went away for a couple of weeks and they amputated his left leg from the knee down. About two month's later he announced that they found it in his right leg as well, so he had to have his right leg removed from the knee down also. This time he was sending us pics from his hospital bed and had his laptop and could still come into the thread. He left the hospitol and went home and had "jumpers"
     fitted for his legs. Then he kept challenging me to a race...lol. I told him he would probably win with those springs. About two weeks later, his brother came into the thread to tell everybody that BWS Man had died from a sudden heartattack at a bus stop, while on his way to help distribute food goods for the poor. He just dropped dead right there. We were all inshock. Months earlier he was a whole fully healthy person. We all took it very hard. Since I hosted the freebie challenge, I decided to make the next month's subject for renders submited about ' The Handicapped" in his memory. It was a very touching month (I am about to cry now!). Anyway, it always seems to be the good folks who get struck down too soon. The winner of the month's challenge submitted a render of a guy in a wheel chair hanging off the edge of a cliff by one arm, in his chair suspended in the air. It was a fantastic render. Anyway, it was years ago but I will never get over his loss and ours. I am sure Dana remembers him well. Here is a pic he sent me of him playing 18 holes of golf!

    Oh, yes!  I remember BWS Man!  Really nice guy!  That was very sad.  As was the loss of Jaderail.  Too many.  Don't want to turn this into a funeral home, though. Sorry.

    Music, I don't know if you remember Merleah (Leanne)!  Used to be in the freebie challenge sometimes, and the complaint threads.  Her mate was Toby, went by Muleskinner in the forums, worked with Carrara.  Leanne passed away on Aug. 7, in the early morning hours I think.  Very sad.   crying

    I had a friend many years ago, back when we were all listening to eight track tapes in the car. He had one in this a Lark exactly like this one. Same color an all. I remember hearing the music from it across the lot. Always playing ".Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Live album". Cool car.
