Alrighty, I spoke with the young lady I had mentioned earlier and she sounds pretty interested. She's still going to be out of town for the remainder of the week.. so I know I couldn't... or she couldn't have a definite word for you until next week or so. She's new to the manual transmission scene, but she's more than willing to learn.
I'll let you know more as time progresses. Perhaps I could run by and have a glance friday afternoon or so? Let me know what's going on. I live in the west end as well, off of lauderdale.
PM if you would like.
