[Biturbos4] Timing Belt

[Al Smith]

I just want to let you know how fortunate I am to have a mechanic that is
excellent, and works at more than fair prices.  I have steered a lot of
business his way, so maybe got a special deal, but paid around $850 for my
timing belt including water pump, etc, and serpentine belt.   He works on
anything, but is especially skilled in German cars.  (Rego's Auto House in
Warren, RI. )

will send some pictures under seperate email, as I believe pictures are not
acceptable to the list.
