Greg / GMAN, Call me, I've been trying to reach you by phone. Mike / Nightsky

Reducing price Reducing price, now $2000. Amazing how getting married, having kids, going back to school, and working full time can degrade a car.... Pictures: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/115004840680094453987/albums

Hope a few guys here remember me... Since I stopped being active in the Mark VIII communities I've almost completed by career change to Mechanical Engineering and will start with BP in late June. I've had two kids, a beautiful daughter who is now 2 and a new son born just a week ago. The Mark...
