Thanks, Pete!  I'm glad to hear it, but I have to wonder how much longer
they'll be available.  Forever, I hope....'cause that's how long I'll
(we'll) be needing them.

Hey, Mike:

The Agillis are still at Tire Rack.  If you buy 4, you get a road emeergency
kit for free - very useful for a bus pilot!

I have Agilis on my '87 and Continential Vancos on my '79
