Thanks, Helmut. Well....that mission has been thwarted...except fot the tail
lights and the e-grade headlights. Time for some more intelligence
work...can't waist such a valuable asset so strategically placed.

[p.s. I hope no one is taking offense at the thread title...I am talking
about industrial espinoge, not the past .....also, for what it's worth, I am
of German descent and had relatives on both sides of both wars. My aunt
(American born) was in Berlin ... with her home bombed out (by American
planes, no less) and her husband, a German soldier, dead, and her living in
the streets with her young son when the Russians occupied...the Russian
soldiers thought she was German, the German soliders thought she was American,
and neither side was in a very good mood. She used to own a vw bus, by the
way, so she's one of us, too, and now lives in Pennsylvania. :~)]
