the '87 911 was not very advanced in cooling the engine and omitted the rad hose for weight saving.

Enjoy the Med Roger; hopefully your attending the 928 event in France....cheers

I have a deep concern that Roger is going off to crash Mercedes' honeymoon in the Med. Rog, if that's even close to the case, consider the longer term ramifications. If they let you live that long...

Enjoy the tropical getaway! I'm sure you've earned it!

With all due respect for the ladies covering the office, they are quite good at ordering, pulling, shipping parts. Lets show some respect. The only delay may be chatting, and billing. Chu gotta prollem wi dat?

Tons and tons of respect for the ladies (totally serious, no sarcasm at all).

The way they pack the stuff is sheer artistry.

BUT...

The best part of ordering from 928s R Us is the "chatting". Even briefly, the chat with Roger is always enjoyable.

Even when the connection isn't the best, the conversation is pleasant.

Last time (after the important stuff was taken car of)"

Roger, do you carry hats?

What?

I'm looking for a hat, a ball cap.

Sorry, I don't understand.

(thinking how to get the word across)

Do you sell chapeaus? (French for hat, for those who don't speak it).

Oh, a hat. No, we carry T-shirts, but not hats. Sorry.

So when talking to a transplanted Brit who sells German car parts out of Texas, I have to revert to speaking French to get my point across.

You cannot make this stuff up.
