Re: [T3] Guess what I just bought from the local dealership?

<x-flowed>The back-up is the paper back parts books. Lots of them floating around. I 
think there is a CD around too that someone has put together. People like 
Russ Wolff also like to put them on their sites. Is that the next winter 
project Russ? I know you have some but not all. Then there was Big Al from 
Texas and his online parts book info. Havnt heard from him in awile and the 
last I saw all the info wasnt downloaded to it yet eithor. Hope he finishes 
it and his Rebus Project as they are both off to great starts.

Oh and nice score, its the authentic VW reader thats realy cool!
