The correct buyer has been identified by one of the posters through a PM to me...and NO GEJ it wasn't your PM! :poke:

Yes, it's me. I figured what the hell? I'm sure I'll never attempt the SAS on my van and I had to make sure the SPD remains around the site. I registered it today and when I got home I took it for it's maiden voyage. Unfortunately it turned out bittersweet. I drove it to an accident scene. Seems Bill V got stung by a bee and looked down while driving.................

Everybody is OK. Bill was totally skitzed out worrying what I was going to do.

Oh WOW..... > the Irony.... I hope that he is ok.

Lockdoc certainly has the best backyard on his mountain for the SPB to thrive in. Not only is there hundreds of acres of woods and trails, there is a disused coalmine also.

After Neco `07 he took me on my first Astro 4 X 4 drive, and from a " CA Lowered Astro Driver" I found a whole new appreciation and respect for Astro 4 Wheelin` it was Crazy Fun! :supz:

Sure glad that Bill V is fine. Poor kid he is without wheels again. Looks like a front end swap is in the works. Never a dull moment on that Mountain you call home.
