    I just checked out Hino

    Someone had checked those out a while back. I tried to find it, but can't right now, for some reason. They look similar in size to an FL70, etc... the 338 model looks to be the one that would be used in expediting. http://www.hino.com/trucks/story_42.php But, as you said, a 2-3 year...

    Cell Phones and your Opinions

    Wolf, What size is your image? It needs to be approx 48x48 pixels to work, also, you need to make sure your storage site allows "Hotlinking" for the image... Example, Angelfire doesn't, among others... Dreamer
