Wow!! You are really lucky that you were there early enough to put it down.
If you were able to move her under her own power, that's great news and I
hope that you get your business back on track!
I been looking for some IDEC and Rambler 100 pic for the last days, and
just found a few... Did you see when IDEC was righted???
Hope someone has recorded it and will put it on you tube..
