A B3 touring? Omg. Hubs cobbled together his own B3 3.0 homage, they\u2019re just so unicorn-y to find in good shape and hard to find reasonably priced. Lucky you!\nEyes wide open indeed. We\u2019re fully expecting to find more when we get it on the lift, but to us it\u2019s a reasonable risk for the overall package\u2014though admittedly I blew past what we thought it was actually worth.
