That's all fine and good Tom but the bottom line is that this list is not
the place for blatant advertising......

We all know damn well that may of our list members run businesses related to
our cars but they don't go soliciting business by advertising on the list.
If you want business from here please reply individually to those who need
parts and if you are as competative as you say you are then your reputation
will spread by word of mouth.
