( a dozen tickets the first year I had my license) That only happened when they caught me though. The FCCA and SPCA were very exciting for a young lad but certainly glad I renounced car buffism at a fairly early age. Two Fiat Spyders in the family (mine and my dad's) both were junk. Only outdone in headaches by Austin Healys and a TR-7. Besides the many VWs I've had the best advice I was giver was "buy Japanese". Loved my Z but win the weather turns, a Jeep is the only way to roll. ;-) Montie wrote: >>>Walt: >>> >>> >Those addicted to the self-flagellation incurred with Leica's > > >>>latest dog should buy a Fiat. >>> >>> > > > >>>BD >>> >>> >>Ah - The Fix It Again Tony!
