Who at Brisbane who wanted a ti steering wheel?

I talked to an '02 owner Saturday that wanted a ti steering wheel to replace the cracked one he got from Sweden.

Was it Jerry / The tall guy in the straw sun hat that was painted up.

Nice to meet you in person Neil.

yup. that was me. at least you didn't refer to me as the tall, fat, goofy guy in the painted straw hat...

i'll send an email from home tonight. thanks

I would call myself Fat and goofy - but thats it !

You have the red 1600- right ?

Great to see it on the road !

well actually, i'd refer to it as "paint store clerk Malaga"

the funny thing is that when i bought this forlorn car several years ago it had a similar brick-red paint job that i kinda liked, but being the neurotic 'purisit' i perceive myself to be i decided to return it to Malaga. I suspect every brick red 02 started out with a Malaga color chip and good intensions...

and it is a 2 liter, btw. and one exceedingly fun car to drive. my first true "ROUNDIE" after a couple squaretails. with hi-compression pistons and original single barrel solex and slightly modded cam, it's a thrill. now if only i can work through the rattles and gas fumes.
