Thanks for the nice thought, Mike. I do have to check out classic De Soto rental places in SoCal for when I finally arrive! Any plans for your Scotland visit yet??
Pete,
as you'll see this thread was begun some time ago, but needless to say, the emotions run even stronger now.
As an update for my chums in Californicia, the trip is presently in, shall we say, the 'Planning Stages', with what still appears to be a fruitful outcome pending! Woohoo!
FBD.
