The red/black 360/12 became mine toward the end of '90.

The 380L was the last one I ever saw available, mid- last year.

First: Nov. 2004 4003 MG in early Feb. 2005 (new)
Latest: May 1991 4003S MG BT on May 21, 2007

In searching for the first date, I found my first post on the RIC forums, and Joey was the first to welcome me. No surprise there! Now if I could just find my first one here!

Hey George,

Don't let the buying fool you. SOON, I will have to part with a few to make peace on the home front. Image

My first: June of 2002. The best anniversary present ever from my husband.... It was a 1982 FG 330 with serious finish issues. It is now a drop-dead gorgeous Purpleburst thanks to Paul W....

My most recent: Last week. A 1979 FG 330 with toasters, that my hubby snagged from a Japanese seller.... It is very similar to my other 330 before it was transformed to Purple, but the finish is in really nice condition for its age--I'll post pics after I take the time to Scratch-X and Zymol it.
