Fwd: RE: Timing question and 81' Scirocco Pic link (fwd)

["Darryl Stowe" <dbstowe@hotmail.com>]

No I am in Corner Brook, NF

There is a small number of 81 Scirocco's here on the west coast of 
Newfoundland. All have been driven in salt though.Mine has never seen salt 
and is stored in my heated garage all winter.

The pic's were taken when I lived in Goose Bay, Labrador.

and they are Tornados in the background.
