Andrew, I have lots of old emails and the old web pages too if you do want to take a shot at it. I have no time to do much of anything except host the list these days. If you like I can give you access to the server and you can see what is out there and create a basic home page for a2-16v.com. Give me a call if you want to discuss, 813-417-8870. I don't check my email as often as I used to so it is much easier to reach me on my cell.
Anyone interested in helping Andrew out please give me a call and I'll help coordinate.
