I'd suggest you try to get them to do the same for you as they know what these cars should feel like and will be better able to spot things that need tightening/readjusting.
I am sure they also love to flog someone else's car  
Good luck with the beast!
btw: my brother and family have been leaving in Shanghai for the past year and are scheduled to spend one more before deciding if they come back stateside but they love their life in China: they are making a lot more $$$, get a nice signing bonus every time they renew their contract, get company paid driver, cook, maid and all living and children education expenses paid by their company. Not a bad deal at all...  |
Fred, I appreciate the kind words and thank you for the inside info on the 125 mile routine, I will push for this. Yep, doing business in China has its rewards ok but its not a normal life and we get to miss all the things that you guys take for granted, all in the quest for money.
Is it worth it, well each to their own, I guess, but I have been away from "home" too long: 25 over years and its gettin' time. Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
