We have stopped a number of times and talked to the owner. All of his busses have had the heads done by him and typically run in the $7-$8k range. I have not done business with him but he seems knowledgeable. It's a great place to get out , stretch your legs and check out the cars and busses after a long drive across the UP or Wisconsin! Business name is European Car Service 906 932-5720. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Spevacek [SMTP:jspevacek@ESC.ROCHESTER.K12.MN.US] > Sent: Friday, September 19, 1997 11:31 AM > To: Vanagon@GERRY.SDSC.EDU > Subject: FYI - U.P.
