Hey Pete, nice to see you over here! I know Andrew well ;-)
OK, duly noted on the car.

 & I'm sure you know.... maybe you do not..... but,
when I 1st was looking for a 5sp I was going to go buy Tom B's, (the 5sp you have) car. He called literally 2 days before I was supposed to go to his place in PA to tell me the T-belt broke in the car while he was transporting it to his place for me. As you can imagine I was way bumed :-(
 Needless to say I'm happy about the car & deal I got on mine.

 Ron
