Kind words Roger.
Thanks, yes, if you had a kid, he could hang around, and he would have a blast.

Yea, beer would be fine, and i do drink some, to many :-)

Regards to you.

Now i have to show you all what i have ben doing for the past 4 days in my
shop... a beauty face lift. A real paint room, a big mezzanine for putting a
lots of spare parts and a section for the Canadian side of Vanaru/Subaru
conversion. Well, Hans is often in Montreal and the need for more space for
those cool and crasy Subi conversion was a must. Of course, my beloved
girlfriend Sylvia is back in the house (after a hard MBA) so there is a nice
women touch now to my shop!!! a lot of crazy colors! pretty cool if i may say.

Pistures to come.

Ben
