Sounds good we'll see what we can do. My 1yr old daughter dropped the lens & my d60, it so happened to land lens first just as I barely clinched the strap catching it before it all smashed down. I was using that lens, that night.

Since the drop it has had this weird kink issue...which I believe disrupts the auto foucs.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the love. It's my baby and i love hearing the beast purr, but poor car just sits at a body shop in Riverside most of the time, so low its being repaired more than it's being driven.

Not new but few more shots of the car:

Thinking bout parting out my baby and selling the whip, it hasn't been used in months and quite frankly probably won't get much use, shes no garage queen she deserves to be driven.

Right now I have to many other cars and projects i'm working on. My daily driver is my new Caddy CTS V Sport, great gas mileage and just more comfy and better tech.

Let me know if there are any interested parties, guess this is just a feeler to see if i should part it or just keep it covered and bring it out every now and then.
