96 Polo finally back home

Just wanted tell everyone that I finally got my 96 Polo back home yesterday, after spending the last 2 1/2 months down at svxfiles house. I had dropped it off the first week of June with an overheating problem, and after Tom tried two different leak stoppers and neither worked, with my approval, he went ahead and did my head gaskets. He replaced other stuff as well, and Im thrilled to report Tom, that I did not overheat. The car runs and drives awesome! Toms charges are ridiculously low, considering all the time he spent on the car, and his knowledge of the svx is second to none. I made three trips to his place now from CT. and although I enjoy the ride, I dont look forward to seeing you anytime soon Tom I have not had an opportunity to fully enjoy my svx like I should, and Im looking forward to it now. My wife had a short time with her red 96 before it was totalled. I have a surprise for her. SShhhh! Oh Tom, howd you like that Red homemade Wine I brought you. How bout them Tomatoes. Im sharing my bill with you all.
