Yours, David ps - I put that steering wheel on the '89 just two-three days ago. And suddenly I knew what I hadn't known was wrong all that time. I guess I'll have to save the other one in case I ever try to sell the beast as an authentic White Star, but in the meantime it's now got a proper (i.e. wide and thin) steering wheel and I'm smiling. About that, anyway. ;-) See you at BBTB? |
