Just thought I'd mention I've just spoken to them for the first time in a long time and it was a great experience. I called them as they had a smoking deal on coil packs (Volvo OE) for $40 ea on Amazon Market place. I was not able to buy as Amazon would not allow purchases from international customers although I knew they ship all over.

I guess the deal was too good as I went to Amazon to add the link and it has disappeared already! Sorry folks.

I wish I could get down there to join in the visit and meet you to Robert, but it will have to be another time.

Neil.
