Terry's antics date way back on The Samba. I don't know what he could have
done to finally get banned. I think one reason it took so long is because
he usually knew what he was talking about. He could be really annoying. I
went back and forth with him in a thread about why the drum brake pivot
pins need to be free. He never would answer.

Somehow, Terry has some items I can't find anywhere else. When I wanted to
replace my throttle return spring, he was the only one I could find that
had one. Now I need a brown lower curtain retainer. All the other vendors
have only gray. I just want to ask him if his is brown - it's hard to tell
in the picture.

I really like his Electrolux site. Almost makes me want one. It's here:
