[V8] New Silver '90

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

You could do that - and some of use will understand a bit and wish they 
could find a way to go visit Finland again :)



Ville, there is a writeup in the wiki about the throttle assembly and 
lubrication.  If you need it, it has tools and photos listed (I wrote 
it so I hope it helps)



John



PS - I want to go back to Finland!!!!!!
