Terve Antti,

Have tried to send you a personal message about buying the indicator/mirror. Can not send for some reason. Can you please send pm to me and I will respond. Thanks, Fraser.

Hi Francesco,
There is a 906 being split up for parts (no mirrors though). Check with Phil, his email address is desmocycle@paradise.co.nz.

Thanks Skins.
Have already tried those sources. Got a bit existed before Christmas as Phil at Desmocycle was looking at a 906 for wrecking. Didn't happen.

Sauna is an essential element in life, can 5 million Fins be wrong?

Antti, Unfortunately it is not possible to repair the indicator/mirror assemblies, they were too badly damaged. The fence got one side and the road the other.

Terve Antti, We have many plesant memories from our 2 years in Finland. I enjoyed the weather very much, especially winter (honest) as it is so cold and dry and so different for us.

Mita kuuluu Antti?
We lived in Hyvinkaa for 2 years when I worked for Kone Elevators, so only managed to get a few phrases of Suomi. Now most of that is forgotten as there is not much chance to practice in Uusi-Seelanti.
Our middle daughter was born in Hyvinkaa. Nakemiin, Fraser.
