Basil is a delight to do business with. Very knowledgeable and always has time for your questions. Oh yeah...he only lives 26 miles from me for those days I just need a ride in the country! He lives at the end of a pastoral lane atop a hill with lovely views. Just happened to drive over for a visit this AM. If you get lucky you get a tour of his 'toybox'!

I had a pleasant conversation with Basil.
He gave me some good advise.
He is a class act.

I've had the pleasure of several trips to see Basil, and his amazing toy room. Always a great host, full of knowledge, and eager as hell to help. My hat is off to him.

I didn't get the details on the lawn mower modifications, I'm sure he didn't leave it stock. Can't hardly wait until my next visit.
