    My staring consisted of '(droool) sandei, look at tha...' (interruption by sandei) - "buy it!",
keys punch, bid placed. Whats more ironic is that i placed a high bid (by only $50) an hour before
the auction ended. Then a guy shows up to look at my tsi i was selling. Time flew by and i missed
the auction end. I went pale and said 'i just lost the auction for my dream car'. Ran back in to
check, and couldnt believe it. One mere bid at +$50 would have taken it.

86 Kamei Twin 16V Turbo Scirocco GTX ('it has begun', rocco #7)
