G'day Johann,

Great looking car, and I see from the gum-boot-wearing onlooker, that there is still a bit of snow outside.

Johann is that an HT4100 I see under the hood?   Treat it like glass or it will spite you.  I've had more HT4100's die on me than I can remember..  Awesome car - I've had several.

good luck with it!

Beautiful!    Love the color.   Very appropriate for an Eldorado.
