But now that I have stated this I am sure I will get nailed next time I am in the Coupe. Jim N3439H.

I know that this will be ignored, but pretty please, with sugar on top, no second hand accounts. Come springtime, out here in the Appalachians, ramp (Allium tricoccum) check has a much nicer meaning. Thanks much, Bill
