Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply. Had a look on your website; that wouldn't be Caroll
next to the bloke holding the fuel hose would it? Hard to tell!
Mate see what you can find out his address. I'd just like to tell him how
much I enjoyed his books over the years and his no-nonsense. dry-wit style
of writing, how much I have learned from them. Everybody should own a
full set of his books! The whole series is just packed with commonsense
info.
Tell me mate, have you ever put down your experiences and codified your
knowledge like he has? I'm sure it would make interesting reading!
Cheers, I'll leave you alone for a while, I've taken enough of your time.
Cheers,
Leon Promet
He's the guy with the black cowboy hat. Absolutely fascinated by all that Chev/Chaparral
high technology. He was working for Ford at the time :-)
