[s-cars] Re: S6/2.2T fuel line question - help needed

[matt ludwig]

wow,

that is a late one. i have a 11/95 build date on my avant and it is one 
of the latest i have heard of. even w/ the whole s-car survey earlier 
this year.

also, rich did i see you are in maryland? would be great if you were 
around DC as there are next to, well,  almost no s-cars here. maybe 3 i 
think.

good luck in any event.

sincerely,

matt ludwig.
