I just retired last week, and I only had one Grand, so I thought I owed it to myself to buy myself a second Grand. (Like I needed another REO!!!....but then, when has "need" ever been the governing factor in REO-buying.) So....this is my Retirement gift to myself.....and Rob has made it so special now! It was such a nice surprise. I think he knows that "decorated doors" are my thing after all the stickers I've gone through on my all-white VV Grand.

Isn't that awesome???!!! Rob is the nicest man I know!!! I ordered the olive drab green Grand and when it got here, that's the door it was wearing. Isn't it GRAND? He's been playing with his engraver, I think. He said it was a "test door" that he thought I'd like. He's RIGHT about that!!!!

You lucky dog!!!! How in the world were you able to "aquire" that beauty???? You must be well connected!!!
In the right place at the right time!
I also have no regard for how high my CC balance is.
With that being said... Anyone have a VV woody? ---What am I thinking---
Oh... almost forgot...
I'm having two naval brass Drip tips made for the two new brass Rm2's They will have the same three cuts as the RM2. I can't wait!
The tips on the VV Grand and the Mini 2.1 are from Ohman here on the forums. Great guy.
OK enough...
Oh Oh ! Rob let out the "secret" we had!
Inside joke, Rob knows.
That's a real beauty! Special door for special REOnaut. "Uti" says hi!![]()
