[FC] Ben's find.....

[Merv and or Loretta]

Hey Ben!
Carefully, very carefully, place the magazines in a plastic zip lock bag and
store in a museum climate controlled archive! Um, I can think of one museum
that might be interested.... AND, I hope those pages get scanned and posted
on the CORSA website soon!
My 62 GB vin is 2R126S112003
