You're a lucky man Andrew. I, like most of us, toil in our garage alone. I
knew other Roadster owners and except for one, nobody ever helped me out
even though I did work on several of their cars and some major stuff too,
like changing clutches. It was a lesson learned.
I hope that you never forget to thank them and return the favor when needed.
Good luck,
Mike
