Another 240TD Sighting!

I was coming back from the post office and noticed a nice looking maroon wagon with Euro bumpers parked all by itself in a shopping center parking lot. As I started driving by I noticed that it didn't have the Diesel or TurboDiesel emblem on the back and figured it was a TE. When I got closer I noticed that it was indeed a 240TD!

Hubcaps, manual windows, rear fog light and the 4 sp. It looked like it might have had some work done here and there, I didn't see any visible rust and it looked pretty nice for a drive-by inspection. I was in a hurry but stopped and snapped a couple (admittedly crappy) pics with my cellphone.

It was kind of neat to see one in person.

It's been parked there each day after work this week. I'd really like to talk to the owner but don't want to look like a stalker either

Why not leave a card on the windshield. People with odd cars usually don't mind people with simular odd cars contacting them. I'd leave an phone, and e-mail address. I hear there's another one out by me in Indiana. I haven't seen it yet.
