Re: Posting to say hello

I really should sell my 85td.  It's been sitting in my garage for years,
untouched.  I keep intending to get a few things sorted out and drive it
again, but I've had a few years of bad health and haven't had it in me to
do so.  Hate to think about it because I really love that car, but at the
rate things are going either the house or I will collapse before it moves
again.
