Subject:New radiator/good to be back
From:Charles Earl

Greetings Listees,

I've been off-line for quite awhile.  My radiator (160k) started shooting
vital fluids out the front recently.  That was bad.  The good part was that it
happened within 20 miles after arriving home from a trip which ran from Santa
Cruz to Ft. Bragg, down to LA and back to SC.
I decided to take-up AOL on their trial offer to gain archive access (I
couldn't believe I got this address, I tryed 4 or 5 screen names without
success, and then voila!).
I purchased an OEM (german-made) radiator for $180. and installed-it myself,
following the archive instructions and using my Bentley.  I saved big-bucks.
I had it flushed, refilled and pressure checked and everything is fine.  I'm a
happy camper again.
It's great to be back, I look forward to the discussions!  : )
