[V8] ...warning....

[Ed Kellock]

Gotcha there... I have a type 85, an 87 CGT.  I would take those over my
Avant, although that is probably more a function of the age of the lights
than the model.  I have fought the CGT light inadequacy for a long time.
I've had it 17 years and I started trying to improve on the stock lighting
for 14 of those.  I got a set of euros for it.  Then I got an 85 urq.  It
has the standard separates replaced with euro/halogen separates in the stock
configuration.  But it kept me from installing the euros in the CGT,
thinking they'd be better utilized in the urq.
