Good man Jim
:-)

I guess I can say I approve because up here in Canada it’s not so  great, I mean the deals aren’t so great. And I have equipment resources to make things.

But i get what Eric’s saying too.

I dunno what product I’d like a deal on . Spare Syncro tranny?  :-)

Anyway, keep safe and have fun. And hope the other BC list members got thru the heavy rain we just had with no problems
