[ROVERNET - UK] Holy cow!

[Ali Al-Abbasi]

Kent

Thanks, I have a lead on a low mileage (parked in 75) 3500S in Arizona that 
the owner wants to sell to me. I just cannot have another car in my house. 
There is just no more space and hence I would prefer to do the floors.

All the best

Regards

Al
