    After almost 2 years of looking, I bought my first fcar last thursday. Its a '92 Mondial-t convertible with 17k miles. I found it at Steve Harris Imports in Salt Lake.

    Many, many thanks to all who helped with often ignorant questions, especially the boys at Norwood Performance.

    Car arrives in TX after fresh major service (maybe 2 - 3 weeks). See pictures. Have not included the one with me grinning ear 2 ear.

    This car is a 5 speed. I could not get my self to get the Valeo. Just got photograps of the engine-out service (see below). Should be done this week, and then on a truck to dallas. I drove the car last week (gasp!) in light snow up to Park Cities, right after buying it - then back to Steve Harris for the major service. What a blast. Very good dealership. The purchase process was SOooo unlike the experience of buying a honda/gm (pick your favorite dealer) etc. Tim Beers was great to work with.
