<x-charset iso-8859-1>Thanks, Pamela.

I think we should get a picture of everyone with their cars posted on The T3
website.  (with the respective names of course).

Its so funny - people don't refer to Nadine as "my VW" or "my Volkswagen"
They refer to her by name or call her "my Nadine".  She likes that. :)
