[Healeys] Another one of my "bright ideas"

[Charlie Baldwin]

Jody,
Sounds like a good idea for a new email list, because this sort of thing 
isn't marque specific.  I have a friend with a rollback who delivers and 
picks up classic cars all over the place.  It would be a good list for 
him to be on.
