Accident in Washington

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your loss. I am on my way back in my GMC 1977 Eleganza from Wyoming, after breaking down there late last month on my "intended"
3000 mile round trip from Seattle to Albuquerque (the distributor went out). Having been on the side of the road a few times myself, I really feel
for you and am very glad you only had minor images. I live in Bellevue if you ever need help.

I do know that the forum does have a lot of doom and gloom, but many times newbies like me learn from the sage advice. I'm hoping the remaining 1100
miles home will be "uneventful" (knock wood!!).

Brian

If you can buy it back from the insurance company, Mike Miller has two Birchavens for sale in Hillsboro. One is a runner with an engine noise and the
other was going to be a project. Might be a good place to put all your salvaged good parts.
