OK, Here's my "Good BusDepot Experience" story.  As some of you
know, last summer I drove my 91 Syncro Westy from Cairo, Egypt
to Amsterdam, Netherlands.

In Turkey - in the middle of no where, the water (coolant) pump went
out - dripping lots of coolant and wobbly on the spindle.  I 'limped' to
a Renault service garage.  They spoke NO English, no French and I
spoke no Turkish.  They were great (but that's not the story here).
They needed the part number to order the pump (long story) and
they would not rely on my Bentley book.  So I found an internet cafe
in this tiny Turkish town and hit www.busdepot.com and found Ron's
water pump page for a 91 syncro took the number # to the Renault
garage and they ordered the part from VW Istanbul (a much longer
story) - Ron never saw an order for this part!!! .  I should say that I
have ordered several hundred dollars of stuff from Ron and am very
satisfied.  I was glad to have the BusDepot there.  SO!!!!   Thanks
RON!!!!!!!!!!!   Malcolm, Halifax
