I think I have to step in at this point and say that I have ordered from Bus boys exactly one time, and the experience was 100% positive. They shipped me exactly what I asked for, got it to me promptly, included a catalog, and even gave me the Vanagon discount without me asking. Maybe I was just lucky? Until I become unlucky, I will keep ordering from them (if they have what I need, of course!). -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) Dallas, Texas, USA '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) e-mail: ddes@anet-dfw.com '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (13.986@100.81) http://www.teleport.com/~des '93 Weber WG-50 (Da Piano) ============================================================================
