aah, I see the phone number now in the payment instructions section. crap. oh well, I tried every avenue, I figured since you logged on to 318ti a day before the close then you might have checked your email for all the ebay'er questions. I won't hold it against you since your ebay account was created just before you set the auction up.. what they do is ebay sends the questions to the enail account that you used when you signed up.. go back and check that account there may be 2 questions from each bidder average.. they might have bid more but it looks like you did alright just answering the ONE question that made it through to you.
I've found (and put a deposit on) what I was after.. not a 318 so this should be my last post.. If you ever join the M crowd I'll see you over there..
good luck with the work, sounds like you've got plenty of distraction to make up for having to take those corners at a more reasonable pace
