OK, I know I no longer have a rocco and it probably will be a while untill I
have one agian but I honestly can say that even though it is frozen outside
and I wouldn't be able to drive mine because of not having heat, I miss my
rocco. I have been thinking of possibly picking up the 82 from Daun still at
Cincy. I am not sure but we will have to see what happens by summer. But I
do miss my rocco!
Peace Out,
Rhett
