The seller replied he just went to Germany making it difficult to
comunicate before the auction ends. No reply if he has a title either which
was my concern. I'm most happy with my pink sprite because Frank helped me
with it. She still drives great and I have my mig and UK made rockers. Back
to welding but this pinky is hard to pass up. I'm sure with one day left it
will go for under 2k
