WHAT?? whoa hey - they just pay me to look smart at the right time
from 8 - 6 or so.  On my time I become a clod with a wrench in one
hand trying to convince myself that my car won't self destruct after 
completing some miniscule task.  No, No, No I defer to the true geniuses
on the net - those who have convinced their spouses that Audi worship
is a healthy thing and that the extra money wasn't needed anyway.

BTW wasn't Tim Stiles of TSR in GB highlighted for putting G60s
in odd donor cars?
