Hey Atwell, That white Spit was sitting out in front of that pawn shop in
January when I was down there!
I spoke to the guy who owns it, asked prices etc. Think he wanted 5 ot 5
thou. Said it had had an easy live, had been used by a couple who towed it
behind a motor home and driven ocassionally. He named all the things that had
been done to it - but I too thought it looked a little cruddy. No wonder its
still for sale!
Cheersm, Fred
