Hi Ron!   
      
    >> Sure thing!

    >> (well, at   
    >> least here) specimen   
      
    RK> Nice!  Denver, CO here.  I'm a huge car guy myself, but it being winter,   
    RK> the classic car has to stay indoors. :(  I'm looking forward to it being   
    RK> summer again.   
      
   Oh, which is your vintage car?   
      
    RK> What year is your explorer?   
      
   That's a 1997 4.0 SOHC EU export model in red.   
   The EU models are all 4.0, AT, electronic 4x4, with the Eddie Bauer fender   
   extensions, half ride control (on the rear axle, to serve as an automatic   
   headlamp beam height adjustment), half air conditioning (only front, because   
   rear air conditioning would have been too unusual for Yurop), Bosch   
   immobilizer and alarm, and changed lights and belt buckles without belt alarm,   
   compass, power seats/windows, and in my case, the "Highclass" trim which   
   includes leather seats and a glass sunroof.    
   And, I have an LPG conversion, so I can drive propane/butane gas which costs   
   roughly as much as gasoline in the US, so 2.5 times cheaper than gasoline   
   here.    
      
   Cheers! Merry Christmas! :-)
