Re: [T3] Oregon: -1 Indiana: +1


Oh thats really neat!  Finding a proper new owner can be a tough thing to do
but well worth while!  She looks really happy!
I need to sell my 88 RX7 soon and just cant sell it to some kid that will go
out and kill himself in it, I need to find the right new owner... having it
for 10 years Ill really hate to see it go but I found a great new owner for
my Opel last year so it can be done.  Just need to advertize it properly.
