Hi Malcolm!

Please enlighten this little boy from Oz.  I know about the right to
remain silent but what is the other 1st amendment.

I fully agree lets start a thread about good experiences from Ron and
his merry men,  whoops and women.  In my case I inquired about heads for
my 2.1 ltr.  Jerry got back to me almost immediately with details and
even looked into the cost of freight to Australia.  Not only giving me
one option but went to the trouble of pricing both air and surface.

In my opinion I say they are a great bunch of blokes.  I am truly sorry
that here in Australia we don't have a supplier like Ron,  Jim Thompson,
Ken, Kyle, Todd and a few others.  Most of our parts come via the
dealers and the privateerers we do have also know how to charge.   With
our Dollar going into cardiac arrest every time the world markets burp
or fart,  the exchange rate is far too savage.  Still as Joel keeps
saying you guys will live down there.

Lets have a balanced opinion.  Anyone say a good word about Ron and the
other suppliers on the list and please lets not start a flame war.

Ray Hunnam.

PS.  Loved your tales of the trip Ron.  Brought back lots of memories
