Discounts on Mailorders

[Kneale Brownson]

When I've inquired about parts pricing from Clair via the internet, 
mentioning that I used that means because they're among the "recommended" 
suppliers on the Quattro list,  I've been told in the responses that 
they're giving me their "internet" discount.  The pricing has been 
comparable to that offered by other discount suppliers, and they've had 
some parts in stock (like for V8 and 200q20vt) that others have indicated 
would have to be ordered.
