Re: new car. . .

["Gerry & Apple" <smokinn85@hotmail.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Sorry to hear you had problems on the way back.  :-(  Maybe the Scirocco,
after having been with such a loving owner, felt betrayed and had no desire
to continue on.  Show her a little love and trust and eventually, she will
return the favor.  :-)

Again, sorry about the problems you had, but at least she got you home.
Never-the-less, I'm sure you will agree that you got a good deal.  Before I
forget, please e-mail me your mailing address so I can send you those other
parts and anything else I may find.

Keep in touch and please send pictures as you update modifications to the
Scirocco (not that there's much that needs to be done, besides engine work).

Penny
