Mike & Cheryl, with cars such as what we have chosen to enjoy, there is only
one mechanic that can be trusted to do the job the right way, and never have
to worry about the work not being completed and to your complete
satisfaction, and that is the owners of the these cars, you have to learn to
do your own maintenance, and, with this list it is very easy to do as this
list contains the very finest of knowledge available, and the flat rate per
hour is quite affordable, it also has a great deal of self satisfaction and
accomplishment, its easy with these people involved.  enjoy   "FT"
