Wednesday, January 5. 2011Saturday, January 1. 2011SILVER PONY on the WayNow you see it!  Silver Pony This image was forwarded to me by long time IRM member Steve Holding and shows the new car passing through Phoenix, Arizona on 12/24/10. Many of you have read the progress reports but may have little idea what the car looks like, so here it is. To take a page out of Phil Stepek's notebook, we really need more donations to cover expected costs. You can see this is a worthwhile project and will fill a longtime IRM quest to have a dome car!
