[ausev] Henney up for sale

[Elizabeth L. Wilbur]

Who can help me on what it would take to get the Henny road worthy for 40-50
mi a day at max and about 40mph,

I am looking at a Xebra from Shock Value as well. I am so excited about the
prospect of being free of petroleum companies and the corruption they have
spawned on all of us.

If I can't get the Henny, at least I can get the Xebra. Does any one know
anything positive or negative about them?

And Cara, I don't think you are silly at all. You're sort of heros to me. I
will know soon when I can see your beauty. I am so in taken by it!
