Probably got his information when he looked at a picture of you and a UK
sysop on your website, labeled David X and me, or some such.

So then I would have to take your word for it that he is him. Or not.

 MvdV> So you say. Unfortunately your claim is not verifiable.

It is verfiable. I did the work myself and have the progressive photos to
prove it. Unless someone copied my work exactly, there is no other.

 MvdV>>> There may be thousands of them.

See above.

OH well.

 MvdV>>> There is no front plate. (Not required in California?)

 MvdV> Then why are there no front plates on your Camaros as they are

Because I choose not to have one.

Oh well.

Oh well.

Search the world over, you won't find one with that exact stripe on it.

If you could, you wouldn't be beating around the bush here.

Neither was I.

No, it is called greed. They have as just as much room.

They're prone to the wind blowing them over here. They don't build roof
vents in them, so the high winds we get here at times, blows them over.

That is true, but it wouldn't work so very well if it were in our upper
midwestern states. There the wind blows and rain and snow get on the
windshields anyway. Parked into the north west, the cold wind will chill
the engine so much that it won't turn over very easy.
