    lights on steering wheel

    ...Hmm... 'Don't really do much of that Don. Maybe I have an exhaust leak or something I don't know about ;-) "Inspiration" comes from the external in more ways than one. I usually see "lights like that" after hitting my head on the frame rail - climbing out from under a car to answer a...

    Thanks Robert ;-) This (rather forward) encounter was stressful in that he had the cash and was ready to take one of these from me. Upon seeing the collection and learning I had two 4-speeds, his attention shifted to the red & black CSs. After some PM counsel here and from family et-al; I...
