dear questioning
our t25 may she rest in pieces
OEM 5 speed diesel with the 1.9 TD often ran up to 95 mph (gps tested) on a
long strait run ...
ok now i got a desire to resurrect that trashed 1.9 that failed outside of
garden city idaho ....
which helped us find an original ...signed ... one of a kind norman rockwell
...
which we gifted to my wifes parents who discovered it to be of extreme
rarity at some local version of the antiques road show
ahh those were days ... money piled up to the soles of my feet ...
if i had not wasted it all on gifts for family and friends i would be able
to diesel my present ride
:) ... love this list
regards
