Custer:
- Our apprentice, Josh is doing wonderfully in practicing the
trade. Interested, helpful considerate and concerned, his
workmanship is always in your best interest. This doesn't mean he
doesn't have a sense of humor, as almost always he does. He drives
a Disco 1, and is working on his new XFR; he also has a nice spare
D1, and Range Rover Classic project as well.
