[AT] Best of ATIS? ---The D8 story

[john hall]

Charlie, the lists were already split when I joined up and we still got more 
traffic than one had time to read. I subscribed to Farmall and ATIS and 
could barely keep up. We had a great mix of Q&A , restoration stories as 
well as stories from back in the day when our old iron was new.

Unfortunately it seems no one here restores anything and rare is it any of 
us need mechanical help.

John
