Hmm.  Never seen one(I think; there were a couple at Mt. Washington corral,
including one from 83 I think, with 60k on the odometer.  Sick.)

PS:Phil, all we have of you+your car is the picture of you and the car's
'boot' filled with toolchest and fiche reader.  For one of the most
prominent members of the list, I think you deserve better!  Send someone a
snapshot and we'll put it up!(not on the list, but on the W3.)  Speaking of
that toolchest, was the drag-race with the Jag with or without fiche
reader+toolchest? :)

PPS:Speaking of tempermental beasts(Audis, not Phil), Boomer thanked me for
the new air filter and change of M1 by giving me near-full boost(1.7; I
take what I can :) in 3rd, ambient 75-85.  Never done that before.
However, he then apparently had a change of mind and as soon as we stopped
in the driveway, announced rather loudly,
"cathunchunkclunkclunkchunkscrapchunkclunk!"  Time to look at those hangars
for the cats.  Idle problems are much, much better; either the new filter
or my cleaning the airbox->turbo hose areas+tightening the clamp(I think
there might have been a leak.)
