Vendor list

[Jim and Patsy Schurz]

Kneale and David,
  
 Thank you for the good  info on vendors.  I have used Sunset Audi and found them to be  much better in price and more responsive than Clair for dealer only  parts.  I have never heard of WorldPac stuff, what is it???   I am currently in the market for a radiator, any suggestions??
  
  Thank you
