Denver area listers.... Thanks.

[Matt Daniels]

I just wanted to send out a thanks for the Denver area people that gave
me advice last week. The car made it to Denver with no troubles at all.
It is now parked at a friends house for the next two weeks until I move
out there. I also got a place rented in Parker and decided to go with a
more permanent solution than just finding a place with a short term
lease. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet more of you in the future.

Thanks again,

Matt Daniels

P.S. If anybody might be interested in a decent 4000 quattro, I might be
selling this thing in the near future. I does need some work and I would
probably sell it for about $1000
