Yes, but Roger's wheelbarrow has phone dials on it.

You know what they say about Texas.......

No not that.... I mean... Everything is bigger in TX LOL.....

The "big" three of course used to mean
1. 928 Intl.
2. Devek
3. 928 Spec.

It has morphed over the years as smaller folks came and went.. and the big 3 didn't necessarily refer to how much moola they bring in..... Rog will always be the NKOTB..(or perhaps the Backwoods Boys?..or maybe the British Invasion).. since he came after the three listed above.. also we can't forget about 928 Motorsports..Motorsports SLC..Electronic repairLLC, John Speake, etc... and I'm sure some other 928 specific folks

Some have modified it to be the big 4...including Rog...but then when Devek went away..he just rolled into their spot....

I suppose this will fall into the OB discussion.....what's an OB?....strict Kempf definition...or the new definitions ?

Personally..it doesn't matter.... We still have a bunch of good 928 parts vendors to help us keep our 928's on the road.. Cheers to all....
