i never met these donuts, the vehicle was sold on consignment (1993, before the internet took off), but i was friends with the main mechanic at the local land cruiser specialty shop. he told me they brought the vehicle in flatbedded, as it was a twisted mess, and wanted it fixed. he said they looked like they came right out of the banjo scene in deliverance.
on a lighter and more positive note, my neighbor/good friend just got back from the ukraine and he brought a decorative ceramic egg from there and a bottle of french bordeaux. i am not sure why he brought me french wine, but i am excited to try it. the only french wines i've had are red biciclette and a couple of different beaujoulais. i've read up on it and this particular wine should be decanted and left to breathe for an hour. i am going to have to get my crystal wine decanter out and make sure it is nice and clean.
