Title: Another bignosemac bumper picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 01, 2012, 20:13:12 My usual random assortment, most from around FGW land, with a few, out of area, curve balls. As there are two dozen I'll allow two guesses each for the first 24 hours. If informed of incorrect guess(es) I'll let you have another go.
