Snip from my first post: "Its good ka ka karma".
What do you mean "obsessed" Who me, obsessed. Obsessed! Obsessive/compulsive, yes. Obsessed; only half the story. I stopped pro wrenching in 1981. My stuff is 20 years old. At least. Campy is what I got. And what does price have to do w/ this any way?
ciao, GianTindaro Pergolizzi N.Y.C. P.S. I also don't use "snap on"(or Husky or Craftsman) tools on my Ferrari (1967 330 GT 2+2 series 2, V 12 BABY ). Just call me silly. Funny, the emergency socket set in the trunk is Taiwanese junk.(that statement could start another thread. Hope not.) Sacrilege. P.P.S. Please read between the lines: humor.I guess you agreed w/ the rest. For that, I'm glad. J.P.
