Euro means sedate  maybe? And some cars had the body kit in black too. Your
car's silver, right? They'll look fabulous, dahling. (And you could always
paint them, or give them to John)



And FWIW, the bumper will fit in the car, so haul it to the Home Depot to
check the bolts, that's what I did with the local Canadian Tire, they're
hopeless for anything metric, adn soemtimes stuff gets mixed up in the
bins. And don't sweat the fillers, you can use them to decorate the wall of
your garage. Check the local building codes before using the parkbenches as
wall hangings though. :) 

So your young son gave you Euros eh? Mine gave me an Easter hunt for beer
bottles, three cases to be exact, just this weekend. You have to love it
when the snow thaws.


Rocc content? Not much, though their home (the Wind Tunnel) is all finished
on the outside, it's finally all stained (black, Larry, to match my
bumpers...). The 16V got a little tweak done to the coil, and Klaus has his
fuel pump all hooked up. Haven't tested it yet though. The beer factor, ya
know?
