re: U-joint lubing on '91 200Q (there isn't one on mine)

What's your VIN, Arun? I (also) couldn't spot a grease fitting on my '91
200q U-joint, but I thought that I must have been too preoccupied wiping
sand from my face and cursing the parking brake adjuster. My car is a
fairly late build: MN026754.

BTW, everyone, it would be nice to see more VIN info added to the listings
on the '91 200q registry that Ed Kellock maintains:
