I'd just like to chime in to say that I have immense respect for anyone who is exceptionally good in his/her field. Auto mechanics is just one area where excellence is underappreciated. I just wish it wasn't so hard to find those people. I would be happy to pay someone else to do some of my chores if I could just be sure that they could do a better job at it than I would. I got my start working on my VWs simply because I realized that the work I paid someone else to do had been done poorly. That was about the time I got interested in bicycles, so my early years working on VWs for myself were the same ones I spend as a bicycle mechanic. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
