From Mr. Dirk...


Hi Paul,

Doesn't this look like a mat? The first one I got from Dale was this color. Don't know the story behind the photo, just noticed while browsing.

Best,

Dirk

    It seems like there are two "pontoon grooves" if you look at the full size picture (click on image.)

    You're right. Links like a 3 pontoon mat. Could it be the Orange prototype Standard?

    Possibly, although both orange prototype mats I made a few years ago went to Australia, and the photo is pretty clearly not Australia...

    Hmmmm... Still a bit yellow I think. That mat seems to be proper orange in the shot.

    We probably should just ask the source! : ) Anyway, it originally caught my eye because I had a couple of very yellow Neumatics back in '01. The only picture that I could find right now is this one, taken in '04:
