  When i travel round Europe to the usual DeTomaso meetings, i carry a trunk
  load of parts with me. I never needed a part myself. The most needed part
  from all Pantera owners over the years where throttle cables, speedo cables
  and clutch master cylinders. No flat tires on my trips ever.

  Hope to see some of you in LeMans 2012.
