Hartis - I tried to send this to the Yahoo Group but it came back - so you better post that from your computer on my behalf!!!!! Thanks xxxx
OH DEAR - MAYBE IT IS BEST I STAY RIGHT HERE IN NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!!!! NOT SO SURE THAT I WANT TO SPEND MY LAST DAYS ON THIS PLANET WITH THAT RESIDENT GURU OVER THERE WHO LOVES AND LIVES FOR HIS VW's - IT IS ALL DEJA VU FOR ME - SINCE HE DID THAT WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WORSHIP ME INSTEAD OF HIS VW's .....water down the bridge and I have to admit there was a long long time in between then and now when a VW was only considered to be a transport vehicle - but they say as you get older you go back to your younger years............
