Many thanks for the information! My wife will be pleased Laughing emoticon Those fake tans are outrageous! I saw on Brit TV that Christiano Ronaldo..Manchester United soccer player...lies in the sun in LA for 7/8 hours a day whilst recovering from an ankle op! He looks so takky! We had a phase of fake tanning in the UK in the 90's but it seems to have disappeared...the 'new' look amongst the kids is to look VERY pale...Goth-like! They are all into My Chemical Romance....is there no inbetween!!!! By the way..picked up orange Vespa S 125 Ziffarani yesterday..I love it! Many thanks folks!! Tony

Didn't FL license plates at one time call it or imply that it was the "orange state"?
