Yeah, I think most of my current problem may just be due to the weather. Kinda damp it seems, and I'm sure that you as well as I will be getting some rain soon, at least according to the radar picture. |

Rolls Royce likes to claim they were the first with a V8 engine, in
1905. Not so! Antoinette was the first in 1902.The engines were used in Speedboats. cuhulin |

I have lost so much weight (because I am still on my diet) I can now
easily fit behind the steering wheel (with room to spare) of my 1948 Willys Jeep.Those two front seats do not slide back. www.devilfinder.com Tom McCahill Test the Jeep cuhulin |
