Hey, Gary, long time no talk. How are you! I see you still have that
MC-2 200TQ.

Yes, I for one am extremely interested in WI. If you feel that your
200TQ with its front mounted IC is suffering from the heat soak, wait
till you see the pathetic stock IC in the UrS shoved horizontally in the
corner by the LF wheel well. Just like in the A4TQ.
