Re: [DML] 5 Speed/ Grey - On eBay in Texas

["Video Bob" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I have time, I am going to try to check this car out.
A few looks at the engine will show it's real miles.
I always check out the rubber on the pedals - if they are very worn then you 
know it
has been driven to death.
I will also check out the boots, hoses and etc.
....that is, if I have time, I have been very busy.
But if there is anyone seriously interested in it and needs me to check it 
out for them
I will be happy to assist any way I can!
