Just received their newsletter in my email. What is that I see? Graham Creswick slaying the Dragon!

How does it feel to be "Famous" South of the Border? Great shot Graham!
But Graham..where was the mention of the crap distributor Rock Auto sold you in 2012? You remember..the one that stranded you in Palestine, Texas?
Maybe that was the reference to quick replacements (although if I recall he sourced one locally) ;) But, giving RockAuto their due, I've bought a lot for my cars from them and have not had any problems. Their web site is a great research tool too.

In all fairness, that suspect distributor came from another major auto supply store in Detroit, not Rock Auto.....however, Rock Auto did supply my current Duraspark distributor and all is well, so far!
.......will never forget the failure event in Palestine, TX nor the kind folks that helped me get the car back on the road.
Hey...just a friendly jab...sometimes mini-disasters can make for great stories for many years after...
Let alone for someone taping the whole turnout episode!! Great photo shot Graham!
We stopped, in Dan's Toyota Escort Van. But Graham's car was mobbed by blue oval enthusiasts and we saw we were redundant, so we went on.

Wow, Mike, those photos bring back memories!

Seems my day in the limelight was fleeting - my ride has been ceremoniously replaced by a land yacht!
Graham,
Some explanation is needed !!
Paul - I think he's talking about on the rockauto link Carl posted... Graham's car is no longer there... it's apparently a living newsletter & that section now highlights a 61 Cadillac instead of his car.
Rob, Thanks for the clarification. Graham had me concerned and I thought the world was coming to an end.

Not to worry, Paul,...... you'll see my usual ride in Lewisburg.
