                        Welcome to the Forum, Al! Good to see you here!

                        As to the Toshiaki Kishi thing... 700+ Listers and 400+ (is that right?) Forum members, and we still can't find this guy? Is he still working for Honda? Does anyone know? Where the heck is he hiding?

                        It would be so awesome to see him here on the Forum...
