Don't listen to him blues; in my experience vehicles that run on petrol have far better fuel efficiency that those that run on 'gasoline'

And BTW what kind of accessories, exactly, is it that Doc likes to shop around for?

...and how do I get my hands on some of them? - on one of them, even.

Cheers

You could do like Doc does.....go look for 1 clamp. :laughing:

Ask for it, they don''t have it, they order it for you, they phone you, you get to go back and see your favourite accessory person again when you pick it up. :P

What kind of accessories? See note above. Or just make something up you dont really need but think you might come in handy.

How do you get one? Well.....I guess you will just have to come to Canada. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Sorry, no....I think it was the other gal who was there watching.

I have yet to find something that makes me squeal with excitement.
:wink:

Wouldn't want jstark or FG to miss that. :laughing:
