As is the way these past 5+ years, I receive random emails with press releases. For now, I will post a selection of photos, and we can revisit later (usually by the time I get a post up, 5 members have already shared all the details anyways!!). John Mayer...  

Just wish it wasn’t a RO…

As for the sand gold..., classy stuff

It's odd but I wasn't jumping up and down with my boutique on any of these models. Perhaps there will be more surprises later? Peter

I have no specific information, but absolutely expect more releases throughout the year (which AP has also done in recent years).
