Keith,

Firstly, I liked the ascii art,

Secondly, a friend who has been to John Kippings house says that among the
piles of chassis, engines, g/boxes and O/D's he has several of these 4WD

interesting project if he would.  Not the first 4WD road going saloon by any
means (stand up the Jensen FF) but definately one to beat the Audi Quattro :-)
