"We sell STUFF on eBay"
STUFF is the right description!

Dick -- Yipes! I think not.

Hmmm...I wonder what the "entire Boise Pagoda market" is anyway(?) since I only see another one every couple of years here.

Dick's already seen my car (both here and there). But for anyone else interested, here's a link to some photos of a red one: http://index.php?topic=4440

And for those who may not already know, I'm a believer that any enhancements should be viewed as "temporary". Well, for my car anyway. Because who knows, at some point I just might get the urge to strip out those new Webasto (OEM to M-B) seat heaters, seat ventilators, seat messagers. (But I'm for sure keepin' the Webasto in-line heater for the windshield washer fluid!). That's why I'm storing some rather large boxes which are filled with a variety of new OEM bits & pieces, such as a rearview mirror, ashtray, steering wheel, the list goes on & on. Even have the original unused spare tire (which I packed around for over 20 years) stowed safely away, along with everything else. For some curious reason I'm suddenly feeling a bizarre need to explain myself here.

Dick, pls. say hello to Ann for Carol & me. BTW, we enjoyed that 2001 Tresor so much that we ordered a case from Ferrari-Carrano. Sorry we couldn't make the Oregon trip...Hope you guys found some good vino there.

Unfortunetly there was no Oregon trip... Only got out once for a couple of days in Tahoe. Weather now is extreme heat..maybe fall?

Best to you and Carol..
