Gentlemen and the few Ladies present:

Our North American office received the following fax, however both of our translators are at Berlitz studying English. Does anyone know what this says.

Happy Holidays,

Sprechen Sie deutsche?

Doc,

A fair translation is:

************************************************

Dear Mrs. & Mr.

I have been restoring a 1969 427 Corvette for quite some time and I would like to ask for a price

quote for parts and literature for this car.

I thank you in advance for this information.

Sincerely yours,
*************************************************

Altavista has a pretty good translation site. Just type in what you want translated or copy your text and paste it in the box....

Oh, if you're interested the term babelfish came from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe book series.

Have phun. It's a gud thing.

Your Catalog Is...

Perfect for international (and less educated domestic) customers, Doc.

Plenty of good pictures to identify the parts they need and the prices marked in US dollars (a universal language). Of course, if there are complaints/misunderstandings about the parts (perish the thought), it will be a really good time to be retired.

Hello everybody,

Gary's translation is really good.

If you need support, let me know.

You can call the 800...-number, but it is not for free.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year
