Hello, my name is Rob and I just registered here. I used to be a member of NAEFER until a few years ago when I moved from Northern Virginia. I have corresponded with Michael and maybe he remembers me. I have a 1960 Taunus 17M wagon. It is still well and running good. I have been out of the loop for a while. I have been busy building a house and my dream garage. Hope to get to know more Taunus owners and exchange info.

Rob,

Yes of course I remember you. Glad to here from you again. Of course I know the answer to Gary's question, but I'll let you tell the story.

Michael

Gary,
The car has a Chevy 350 in it with some Mustang suspension/brakes pieces and parts. It took 4 years to complete ('95-'99). It has been a bunch of fun taking it to shows/cruise ins and having people guess what it is. That is my new "dream garage" - it took 3 years to build/set up.

Michael,
Hi again. Glad to see all is well with you, with the exception of course of maybe losing a few toys.
