Hi You'll,

I've been checking out your site (this forum) for a few weeks now and I have to say I'm impressed with the selfless contributions and knowledge of so many of the participants - thank you!

My name "Motozappa" that goes back some years when I was researching two-wheeled walk-behind tractors and incidentally the BCS brand, straight out of Italy and a division of Ferrari... you don't see much of them in The States, but they're around, have been and will be for a long long time, cause they are built right and like bulldogs. Attachments galore and they're super versatile - look 'em up sometime, like here in America: Home // BCS America or in English from their Italian site: BCS GROUP - duh, click BCS

Anyway and I digress, thing is my username: Motozappa, is Italian for Rototiller, as I discovered many moons ago. Since I'm a gardener, quite the motorhead and into Frank Zappa, the gasket fit, so I'm sticking with it like Permatex

Thanks for having me here & here'* to hoping I can help out others!

Really,
Dan

That is probably the most unique username I have ever heard of.

Again, welcome to the forum Dan!

Thanks Mike and Justin for welcoming me! Yeah, I took care of my signature. Sorry, I thought when I registered it would add my vehicle info to the left of my posts - guess not.

that would be cool, but i dont know if its possible. my inlaws just bought a rust free 2000 (crazy for here) lesabre custom. i think its got under 60k on it too. and talked the guy down to 16 or 1700. cant believe he got it for that. i just had to replace the regulators in the back, mess with a shield they had touching the brake rotor, and the a/c compressor clutch is messed up but i think he is going to wait till spring on that.

Cool story Justin, I'll offer you $2,000 cash for the 2000... it will probably save me lots of flow then trying to fix my beast

Thanks for the welcome Bill! No pics as of yet, but I'll try this weekend. She'* sad right now and a bit dirty Hard to believe I'm nearly 53 and driving this old people vehicle, but she has been mostly dependable and a well built machine
