In retrospect I think this was a flawed choice. I for sure found bunches of loose fastenings on Dutiful Passage in places where no man had gone before me. And I have an eerie deja-vu feeling about that fouling-the-seat-track experience, I think it must have happened to me at some point (my specific memories of much of that period are shot-to-h*ll, unfortunately). -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '89 Whitestar "Scamp" |
