Wedges and Datsun

[Gates Family]

I did so contemplate once, but it was a case of "tiller" death do us part. Also, the bishop was not that keen on officiating at the funeral, so the Datsun box was preferred over the sort used by morticians! Joe Gates TC 8675 janus@iafrica.com +27 11 440 6993 +27 82 902 1060
