Premade parts for the Vision are available - it just adds to the cost for us poor Southerners. As one Southern gentleman said to me in a broad Southern accent- 'What part of the East Coast are you from" . I said, "I'm not from the East Coast, I'm from down south" -"G.d damn - how far south !?' he asked. True story ! and I've got plenty of them. George (down under) lendich@optusnet.com.au
