<VV> last convertible 5997 Humoriod!

[Dave Keillor]

It occurred to me that there are those who would say that most of us on
this list have at least one Ed Cole turd.  They call them turds; we call
them Corvairs (and sometimes we call them turds as has been demonstrated
by the 5997 discussion).

Is it polished and can you pick it up by the clean end??
Good one Dave!
TLH


Not interested in the air, but if you have a genuine Ed Cole turd, I
would be really, really interested.  That would be very historically
significant.  Warning, though, if you think you can pawn off any old
piece of sh*t on me, I will have it tested by one of the turd DNA labs.

I also have a bottle of air that was once breathed by Ed Cole himself. I
would like at least $50,000 for it.
