Euro Bits, Coleman Machining

    Well here I go again.  Since I am unemployed and having a terrible time
finding a job for the summer I have decided to hook up with another friend
in Austria who works at a dealership to start getting euro only bits over to
the US.  I did this a while back unsuccessfully and eventually destroying a
good connection over importing 1.8t engines, none of which ever came to the
US.  Since this guy works at a dealership he gets a discount which I can
pass onto the buyer.

    I figure we can do new parts, no used bits.  I would like to stick with
smaller parts to start with, but bigger orders can happen too I guess.  The
one problem with big parts is shipping, this time around I don't have a
special shipping setup like I did before.  I used to have an overseas
freight company shipping whole bumpers for $50USD to international airports.
Smaller parts can go via post, which is not that pricey actually, and
Austria's mail service is stellar, opposed to Germany's which is
horrifically slow for overseas packages.

    So drop me a line if you are truly interested in euro only parts.  I
don't really want to just get prices over and over; should be able to get
parts at lower prices than most distributors here with the dealer discount
in Austria.

    Also anyone who is interested in doing any Coleman machining parts
should give me a buzz.  I have a good connection with a tech there and at
the moment I have a sizable dealer discount which I can pass on to you all
too, maybe steal a little of that discount as a consulting fee, but the
discount is enough to still pass on savings with those expensive rotors
orders, let's say I can get $300 off $1000 orders.  I also do brake designs
and know the in's and out's of that as well.

    Cheers!
