God I love it when I hear " MR. Nall" !!!       And I was RIGHT!!!...NEW!!  
ggggg [grins]

FLAPS...friendly LOCAL  autoparts stores........   it's a generic WWW   
term..not just Vairs......most of us own many other makes as well...I'm one of the 
only TRUE  Lovers.....ALLVAIR!   gggg  even my Boat!  

Although we are in somewhat the same line of work.....I'm not a restorer....I 
only FIX things.....so I always INSPECT   EVERYTHING.....because most aren't 
working when I get them!  ggg   At work I only deal  with High $$$,  newer 
turbomachinery and associated  equipment.

You'll have to excuse  what comes across as a "Sharp Tongue"....in 
emails....I'm short / curt in my responses!   I belong to approx. 9 of these 
Forums.....own 2 Yahoo groups...and am a Moderator on 2 others....I used to be Chairman 
here.....but stepped down to allow someone else to take over......and between 
work and homes...I range over 600-1200 miles  in any week....oncall 7/24....

You can view my webpages [ bottom of signature] to SEE what I'm like and what 
I have.....and go to  www.corvaircenter.com   PodCasts  to HEAR me ......it's 
a one hour interview with Kevin "UNSAFE" Willson and myself....and you can 
shut me up  at will there!  LOL!  [ laughing out loud]

Everyone is welcome here!........We haven't had any whining / crying here for 
months.......but lots of threads [ subjects]  that wander all over!!  And 
lots of INFO!  for NOS [ new old stock parts]....pure stock....show .. race 
.....modified...airplane power......v8's.......you name it!  We've got members from 
19 to 90!

If you ever need an answer instantaneously [ middle of night / xmas, etc ]

Archives..where EVERYTHING  has been covered!

So...of course!  Welcome to Virtualvairs
