Let's hear it for the twin turbos!

["Matthew P. Olans" <mpolans@xxxx>]

Rich,
Let me be the first of the American twin turbo owners to
congratulate you! I am so glad you finally are on the road and that you
passed MOT on your first try. From what I understand that's no small feat.
(Rob Grady was the genius behind my 1st time pass.) It's also nice to see
the Island kit backing an automatic. You'll easily be able to keep up with
Martin and his 5-speed on those jaunts out to who-knows-where....:) Just
don't blow past him too quick.....:) Do us all proud and let the twins
SING!

Matthew
