<VV> Body Transplant

[J R Read_HML]

Never did it myself - only parts (units) moved between bodies.  Have seen 
more than one - either in process or the results.  What do you think is 
keeping so many Yenkos on the road?  He He...

Most interesting is probably the "splice."  A late convert resurrected out 
of the remains (good front and rear sections) of two otherwise "totaled" 
cars.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
