That's good to know, but I still say you are an anonymous rebuilder if
you don't advertise your name and personalize your business.  People buy
from people, and Leonard should put his name on his advertising along
with his personal commitment to customer satisfaction.  Otherwise he is
choosing to be anonymous, even if he makes great engines.  Tell him to
change his company name to Leonard's Quality Engines and join some of
the VW mail lists!
