So Yesterday I broke out the old credit card, fired up the laptop and it was shoppin time going to score a Bentley for my 86 245DL aka Inga.

IPD and FCP Groton were out, humm that was strange. Called the local Euro parts house to over pay by $10. The guy on the phone says I was the third guy in the four days looking for one, and they are out. No problem hit Amazon and that was funny as heck. For $95 I could get a used one from a Goodwill in Seattle Wa. No wait they now have it for just $70, the price is dropping faster than my 401K did this last week, and that is saying something. You can order and new brand new one for only 240.71 on Amazon from someplace called International Books. I am going to be all over that bad boy right after this email. Just kidding not a chance in heck of that phone call taking place.

So the book is out everywhere right now and the prices are just stupid. Time to go get the duct tape and put the cover back on the dirty yellow Hayes manual. Have to wait for the next printing. Hey the BB and that grease covered Hayes got me this far.

You know that $240 book is still called me, come buy me you idiot, come buy me so the wife will put you outside to sleep in the Volvo, if you live that long. You know you want me...

Bentley-less in Pasadena but sleeping inside,

Regards,

PT
