haha... Vincent ! ! aaaahhhh

after my weekender was gone for a year I looked for another one but
couldn't find it... so I got a Carat... well ...but it's not what I want...
so I gave it to daughter... :-)

and then I went looking for another one... and ended up with a Syncro but
still not a weekender...

now I think the rarest of the rare (for me) is a Syncro weekender - of
course I can get a westy and gut it out but it's a waste...

still looking... still looking... still looking... (insert the Enregizer
bunny theme here...)

:-)
