[Boatanchors] 4:1 gear set.

Sun, 4 Aug 2002 10:37:41 -0500

Buy a map!  Houston is pretty darn far from Paris, TX.

I have dealt with Dutch before and know him to be
both reliable and honest.

Cast your aspersions elswhere!  If people did not want
to send him money then they should not have replied
that they wanted the knob or gear sets.
