Dear list,

OK - I'm getting past it after reading about all you young whippersnappers in the group. 

At 73, with one working hand after being visited by "Mr Stroke" four years ago, and a self imposed double vertebrae fracture/surgery/pain in the rear recovery, I just do NOT posses the wherewithal to finish my latest project. 

I have a 1987 Syncro with a rebuilt transmission attached to the engine ready to go back in the van. I've just run outa steam. 

So - before I try and sell to none-believers - who amongst you might be interested in trading me for a Westie?

Please pmail me if you are slightly interested and I can call you back. Talking is easier than the one finger typing exercise for me. 

Regards
Peter Marsh
Naples
