ok! we sold the last of the 316/ 516 to the calif state gov. 18 years
ago.
I sure kick my self in the ass for not saving one..... they had a critical
application and needed hem for parts... I would not be where I am now had it
not been for folk as them and others... so a little pay back is a good
thing... but.... whine wish I had kept one....
Thanks!
