Good show Greg! Joe has contacted me several times over the years
about putting
his stuff back up, but he and I have never connected at the right
time to make it
actually happen...actually, I think he just never responded to my
email asking him
how he'd like to transfer the data. :) Did he send you a cdrom?
Some of the pictures in that site are quite historical; pictures of
my 16v were the first
16v pictures he posted! :)
