<VV> RE: Porsche/ Corvair (Cadet)

[mygroups at frontiernet.net]

Don't forget the Opel Senator. I believe that was the name. I was in 
italy for 2 years before my roomate got one. Was HUGE - and then I came 
back to the states and realized it was about the size of a late model 
Buick Century (current one)... I had been in Italy too long and around 
those Italian micro-cars too much... Was a good car though!

I'd still like to have a few of the Opel models we don't get here...
