[C38] Lightning/Fire

[Max Soto]

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..

Regards,

MAx
