[R-390] Positive ground (slightly off topic)

Tue, 3 Sep 2002 09:52:53 -0400

Hi Joe!  I didn't want to get too far out (far off the topic), so I skirted
mentioning the car. It's a 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 roadster.

My Collins KWM-1 would really be appropriate in it, but the little Atlas
210-X seems like a more practical choice.

Alex!

How can you post something like this with NO mention
at all of what the car is?

This IS the R390 list after all.
