Best of luck from Sweden
Friendly tip, you mean restorations :)

Hey robert. I sent you an email (From FastRedPonyCar @ gmail) to see if you'd be in bham. Not sure if you got that or if it got into your spam folder or what but if you're passing through Birmingham, AL, that'd be huge.

Looks like you might be coming through Charleston! If I'm around, it'd be fun to have lunch or something. You can give my old 2000 XC a good once-over. :D

Please let me know if you are going swing to the WInston Salem NC area. We got gumbo, and red beans and rice (both of us are New Orleanians) and an aggravating "boost is intermittent, like something is sticking" problem. This would be more brain work than actual labor..

Blue Ridge mountains are not too far from us and very pretty now..

Hi Robert! Sent you an e-mail two weeks ago but I didn't get a reply. I guess I'm SOL?

Either way, safe travels!

As I am sure you can provide insight on my current issues and I'd like to hear about your travels! -tony
I should have noticed sooner but Robert also helped out on my thread covering our 96 850 Wagon so I'd be up for this to thank him in person. But I think he's left the area, or ...?
