Re: John Hervey's comments. I must add my 2 cents worth - ($ .0135 Canadian) As a businessman, I must agree with John. If you own a restaurant, you can satisfy a person over 100 meals, but have one minor problem or a meal they don't like, and that customer can be lost, if not for communication. There is no advantage to flame any major vendor that is supplying parts for the DeLorean. The overwhelming praise I have heard about John, in particular, is absolutely positive. The extra effort he puts out, and the time spent explaining "how to...." is not income producing, but he still offers advice at no charge. The way we can reimburse him, is to support him and other major suppliers. Without their items, and assistance, we'd all be in deep dodo!
