Dale, things must be slow at the shop. You clearly have too much time on your hands, 045

But thanks for all that information all the same.

MCCl-MINI Cooper Clubman
MCCla-MINI Cooper Clubman automatic
MCClS-MINI Cooper Clubman S
MCClSa-MINI Cooper Clubman S automatic

Okay, that might be stretching it a bit!

And John, I wish we were slow. 67 cars on the lot with almost 80K in the door. I could feel better about the grey hair and headaches IF my pay check was commensurate with the idiots I had to deal with!

Most of my surfing is while I'm on hold waiting for a parts idiot to find the part I need, or why I got the wrong part, or what my part is at someone else's  shop, or why they didn't order the part when I asked them to, or....well, you know the routine!

Alright Dale, I took the acronym advice and updated my signature. Might I suggest you do the same ? Ya know, save some space and all that.

BTW, AKA is "also known as". Looks like your original post missed that one. Now don't go back and edit.  039
