Hehehehe, that was the EXACT same car as I drooled over about two
months ago. Was it still parked outside that Shell garage? 

I think the Borbets looked wonderful on that car. Wish I could have
bought it, but the norwegian import tax would be about $12000..

I can hardly afford a $10k car.. And here that means an old 100
non-q..
