Let's see....hmmm, a beetle or an Alpine.....Maybe I'll ask an Alpine
users conference......there are pros and cons, but I'd drive an Alpine
any day if I could choose between Hitler's revenge and Lord Rootes final
hurrah.....well, 2nd to last hurrah.....I think the Alpine would have
less of the petty maintenance inherent to the bug....but I'm a little bias
Hope you can get as excited as I do about the Sumbeams...
Kind Regards-Chris
