[V8] Free to good home (or bad home, I suppose) - 1990 V8Q

[Nicholas Miller]

In another time I would be there in a day to pick it up from you.  Shame, I
would love another toy like that.  But it not driving and all means I
wouldn't be able to do much about it.  I sometimes get an itch to be back
in a V8 from time to time and I really did like my old car.  They are a
unique driving experience, allbeit maybe a bit dated.  I have a D2 A8 I
have been working on a while, quite enjoy the ride it provides as well.

Keep me in mind if you figure out how to get it running aside from the
brakes.
