| Subject: | for folks without gopher: some vw parts info & stuff |
| From: | J. Walker |
| Date: | Wed, 21 Sep 94 08:40:47 CDT |
frank asked about more info about delta six, and i thought it might be
useful to just dump this on the list. it's pretty much the same stuff that
is available via gopher, but since some of you don't have that access, maybe
it'll prove useful.
if anyone has anything they'd like to have added (junkyard in their area,
more info about one of these companies/clubs/whatever), please tell me and
i'll add it to the list.
