Re: Intro - M6 US #1370 & 635CSi

Thank you all! And in typical fashion, the A/C went from cold to ambient a day or two after I joined here. Always something, but at least I know I’m most likely looking for a single point of failure. Welcome Joe! Cool collection, nice sharks =D> What is the color code of the m6? Looks great on the d...
