<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a 68 year old "lurker" who lurks because of a devotion to VW's since the fifties. I have never deleted a message due to grammatical structure. Some of you folks are language proficient and some are not but in either case I understand the points made.&nbsp;I've owned eleven air-cooled VW's over the years and loved them all in one way or another. Some of the finest mechanics I've ever employed "butchered" the language but produced marvelous repairs in a timely fashion at a reasonable price. I've employed "mechanics" who had perfected English but were sloppy in mechanical results. I've also&nbsp;dealt with folks who were skilled in both areas. I&nbsp;tend to look at results rather than "fluff". My manual dexterity has always been deficient although I can intellectually understand the repair process. Hence, I pay for what I can't do well. This revelation didn't come easy---my ego got in the way early on.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thoroughly enjoy this list with my morning coffee----This is my first stop on my daily internet travels.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy trails,</FONT></DIV>
