Show Description
We received a note asking if Shep ever built a kit. Tels story of a friend who sends away for a kit to convert a volkswagon into a sports car. He keeps getting letters saying due to production problems the cost had to go up but because you are a current customer you get a reduced price. This goes on again and again and he's still waiting. Shep was 7 when he got 'taken' to learn how to play the piano. His friend Stanly get offered Euopean tour by his 'special credit card' Another fried gets a tour to Barbados on a luxury liner which loses power. Shep tells more 'horror' stories of bad tours Self-improvement
[ Courtesy: David Goldin - 11-20-2024 ] The saga of the man who bought the kit. The lure of self-improvement. "Luxury tours."
