Well, I there might be a few Harris cars that can be reused. A bit
dirty I'll admit, but genooowine one-owner. They're yours if you can
dredge them up from a sand-pit in Clayton. VLPass might still even
have the plans to convert them to inter-urban use. The only problem
would be disposal of the asbestos lining, but, hey, at least the
indicators work - or used to.
