[V8] Of Honeydews and unwanted hitchikers

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ah, small world.  I used to vacation in Leleand every summer.   
Kneale's in TC and has at least one v8, and there's a few other  
audifans there, though not on this list -- Elijiah Wood by Suttons  
Bay (S-Car lister).

Small world.  Is that '91 a 5 speed?  I'm sure Ron want's to know ;-)
