Brian,
I am sorry that your experiences with Bus Depot were not to your
liking, but I
feel sure that you will be very satisfied with Rock Mtn.
Motorworks. I just hope
that Ron does not get tired of this kind of abuse and look for
other things to
do.

My experiences have all been of the kind where a great bargain on
a slightly
dirty, 20 year old NOS coil is a real delight and of the type of
transaction
that I will trust BD to provide for those of us that appreciate
it. I must
report that one of Ron's staff once made a mistake and overcharge
me $10 for a
water pump, but then they  2 years later, on my next order, they
gave me a full
credit ( and the list discount).

Thanks Ron, small business is hard and I appreciate your efforts
and hope you
are meeting all the expectations of your business plan. The small
specialty
supplier is where e-commerce seem to thrive. But I do really like
your paper
catalog.

Travel Well,

Jim Henry
