The car was only a couple of months<br>old....I took it back to the selling dealer and read them the riot act.....you all<br>would have been proud!!!  Still have the suitcase (and the car).<br><br>;-)<br><br>I installed a fire extinguisher in it right after that.  Same extinguisher is still<br>there.  ...pressure probably totally zeroed out by now.<br><br>I intend to get the Boss out and dust it off this fall...after the new SHO is<br>done...to get it to the museum next spring.  Rabbits got it again...not much left of<br>the underhood wiring.<br><br>George<br>_______________________________________________<br>Shotimes mailing list<br>Shotimes@autox.team.net<br>http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo/shotimes<br>
