Alfred,
It was parked so long with the Karmann Ghia it wanted to be the same color!
Very nice.

Hi
I just saw this.. I did not know that the cars knew each other.
Half of the fun of getting Jack to do my transmission and motor was hanging around him and Jack Jr.. Jack Jr was and is the "wheel" man when moving / pushing cars around.
I have already put about 1,400 miles on my car since I picked it up last fall. To Jacks credit, it goes great - and so will yours !!!
Happy driving
Jim Clement - Red car
