Ben,

I'd be interested in everything except maybe the CP. I'll have a look at a
pic sometime today and let you know. If I can find a similar cab I may take
it.

Let me know what you want for it.

Also - are you going to Vegas for CGE2K. I will be. Maybe we can do the deal
there - if not, I'll probably get you to send it to my LV hotel and I'll
bring it back to Australia to save postage.

Thanks
Paul
