Dave,
If I had the time, I would ride up there to take a look. I am very curious.
But multiple family health issues are keeping me close to home. A close
inspection would provide the truth behind this 2k mile car. Also it didnt
look like those tires were original, and who replaces any tire after only 2k
miles?
It would be only about a 2 hour jaunt on the bike on wonderful roads.
Oh well.
Bob
