<x-flowed>I'd just like to second that 'reply to' change on the list box.

while we're ont he subject of gearboxes, how can i tell what gearbox is 
in a particular type 3 with out pulling it out - situation is looking at 
a lovely 71 fastback that was an auto and is now a manual, but has the 
shifter (gearlever) of a pre 65 type1.... does it really matter?
also the gearbox chatters when you take your foot off the accelerator in 
4th at speed. is this a biggie?

Cheers

Ade
