I believe they come in different sizes depending on what gauge of wire is used. For those with a parts CD, could you please look up the part number for me? TIA Don

#5. wine country weekend get-a-way - from Scott McClung

Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 09:26:59 -0700 From: Scott McClung <scott.mcclung@ubicom.com> Subject: wine country weekend get-a-way Spent a lovely weekend away up around Healdsburg / Russian River / Alexander Valley this weekend with my wife to celebrate our 10th anniversary. But nonetheless, it was a nice get-away without the kidlets and we enjoyed plenty of the fine Souv Blanc's, Chardonnay's, Pinot's and Zin's the area is known for. And after two full weekend trips we still have just barely scratched the surface of the wineries in the greater Healdsburg area. Took the M3 - what a nice weekend get-away car. Had just enough room for all the crap we tend to travel with (incl 3 coolers and 3 large grocery bags of snacks) and nearly 2 cases of wine that we returned with. And managed to knock down an average of 27mpg!! Cool. I mentioned to my wife at one point that we would be hard pressed to make such a weekend work in a Porsche or Vette.

In fact, I was surprised that Paul's service writer "had never heard of this" before. Kind of makes you wonder how truthful these guys are...or at least how good their memory is ;-) Does anyone have information as to why Ron had those pictures prepared? Any text to go with those images? Getting cooler here in the Bay Area. Hopefully the problem will not be permanent this year... Butch
