Anyone know what happened to the Aft R U 2 Signature after the accident out east? If I recall correctly, it rolled in a turn with another Sig called Crazy Greek.

No, Dave Rutkowski was.

Just a sidebar, I think I saw somewhere else on OSO recently that the Crazy Greek guys just bought the old Daddy Cool Cig.
