welcome to the group iroam, you already sound more civil than a fellow countrymen of yours, Klavdy, who haunts this list.  You at least have good things, rather than always disparaging things to say.  Must say, mind your spelling though.

As you can probably tell, lot's of fine folks here.  Again, welcome here.

Hi Westozfj,

Hey hi there iroam, welcome to the forum man. Ahhh, Bayswater boy eh?...

Depends what kind of parts you're looking for and how urgent you are in need to get them....

In Oz we can save a LOT of money (like 45 to 50%) on genuine parts by ordering from the US and there are credible forum members here with excellent reputations who's businesses can reliably supply us.

Have a look here, will give you some ideas....

I've bought a couple of bits through local dealer but '87 VIN number gets my local Yammy parts man reaching for his asthma inhaler  and me cringing at the thought of how much this is gonna hurt my budget so I rarely go a dealer but Cully's is local to my work when I do.....

Had actually been thinking lately about posting in the Oz thread to find out who of us in may be interested in semi-bulk buying some both genuine and non-genuine bits and we would all save on shipping costs if we did a group buy - would take some planning but it could be done and I'd be a part of it.

Anyhow I'm going to contact Randy myself soon and order some bits so PM me if you wanna chat more about that....

And $AU/$US hit .99 today (wooohooo!) so timing's lookin' good (for once in my freakin' life
