tjohnson,
Yep I unbolted the park brake and tried shoving my arm to the right and left of the brake.
Funny that you should mention heater controls. That's another project. Kosciusko is a doable distance from Magee. I just may take you up on the offer. November & December are out, too many plans have been made for me by the boss. But hey there is always January, 'cept by then you may want to get out of the "cold" country and come down to Magee to thaw out.
Are you aware of the Euro Fest in Ridgeland that was held the last weekend of October? We had a great time and I managed to beat out some Ferrari's with my Alfa. Next year is expected to be even better.
