Sure!
        Always love to steer people away from my local dealer! I see my
'friendly' parts dealer Scott up in Plaistow, N.H. many, many times a
year. He works out of the top floor of a barn, with old wooden stairs
leading around the back to his rear entrance. Ground level of this barn
is occupied by a Porsche repair-man/shop. :-) Many nice sights every
visit! To get there:

*495 to Exit 52  (495 North from Mass/495 South from N.H.)
*Left at end of long off ramp if from MA/Right(I think) if exiting 495
from N.H.
*Travel 1/2 mile with lake on left. Do not pass lake completely.
*Take Right onto Route 108(109?) by almost reversing direction,
seemingly making a 'U'-turn(right-handed) and ascending a hill(Rt. 108
is roughly at a 120 degree angle to road running parallel to lake.(45
being a fork, 90 being a right hand turn)
*Ascend hill and continue on...under 495 and enter 'Tax-Free N.H.!'(only
a total of 1.5 to 2 miles)
*Right after entering N.H., look for a white mailbox and a driveway on
the right. The red barn is set back 40 to 50 feet and behind foliage. In
the driveway will be Porsches and occasionally a Masseratti(sp?). :-)

	Tell Scott I said "Hi!" Just mention Allan with the Coupe GT. I have
been dealing with him for almost 4 years. He is very knowledgeable of
Audis and Porsches(from what I can tell), has great prices, and can
usually get anything not in stock in a day or two. He has been known to
drive parts to my disabled car himself! Found him in an ad in E.C. under
stressful conditions...read on.
	First time I delt with him, I had blown a radiator in Knoxville, Tenn.
while visiting my father and was short on my credit card by a decent
amount, but desparately needed the radiator to be shipped, since being
in NASCAR territory limited the availability of anything German! I told
him where I lived and that as soon as I got back, I would drive up and
pay in cash, and he shipped it out on the 'honor system!' I installed
the radiator in Tenn. with minimal tools(to the complete disbelief of my
father, who also never offered his credit cards...nice dad, huh), drove
home, and then paid him off to start a long and great relationship! He
has since helped me through two complete 'totals' of my Coupe by
locating and discounting parts. :-)

        Good Luck! HTH!
