I strongly agree. I currently have a Fink '95 Plus 8 and got what I thought
was a fair deal from Bill. I replaced a Fink '84 4/4 that I had purchased
used, and even with a used car I got great service and advice from Bill. IF
I ever buy another new Morgan, I would go to Bill first.
On a side line, this line on Hot foot wells, I live in Mississippi and know
well what 200% can do to tennis shoes.
