[Peter Caldwell]

Had a Goodyear hose for a Hyundai listed (among several hundred other 
hoses and parts that fit cars with names) This is the message from 
<http://www.ebay.com>eBay.

250757658721 - Goodyear 61636 Upper Radiator Hose Sonata

Wow.... guess I have to ask MG and Triumph and Borgward and LLoyd.... 
this could dampen <http://www.motors.ebay.com/>eBay motors a bit.
