Thanks heaps guys, its really handy to have a supplier so close to me in Boronia, will be handy for emergency parts.
With CIP1 I had great results last time but I cant risk a shipping delay.
So I went with Wolfsburg for most of my parts as they had everything in stock and promised delivery within two days

Again thanks for suggestions

Another amazing production Joe

This cloning idea would help out at our place too.
Put myself to work and I could go fishing.
Enjoy the challenge that you've set for yourself and I'm sure the results will follow.
Remember: It's not work if you're enjoying what you need to do.
Take care.

You'll have to do another Joe !

If Joe can knock out Split after Split for $10k, and the next one will be less because he already has all the power tools, he is going to make himself some serious money.
Either that or a whole stable of Splits.

Love your work Joe......Sounds like you finally found a use for that Herb Albert CD you bought in the bargain bin.

Joe,
Did you cause that earthquake in Victoria today with your super fast powers, trying to get through that work load
