Importing Vehicles more stuff

Mike,
    Rieger started life in the usa, took a field trip and came back with a face lift.
    As for the owner, I know OF the guy, and have been looking for him for quite some time. If you
have any way to get a hold of him, or the guy who knows him, please do it. I've been looking for the
original owner since i got the rieger. Original owner name is howard montaque.
Thanks
Al
