You could always get your parts for them here: KaleCoAuto.com, Your home for the rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts.

Of course, everyone here in both Washington and Oregon is the same too. Just ask the people in Seattle and Portland.

Enough of this discussion of fuel and cars and single malt whiskey! Are we in league with the hociR or are we of a separate destiny free of the stench of copier toner?

Enough also of the politically incorrect slandering of various European national characteristics.
While they may all be true (and probably are!) we could be seriously offending someone who has not succumbed to the siren call on the hociR (unlike quite a few on this thread!! and you know who you are.)

Single Malt Scotch will wash away that stench. So then you're free to go whatever way is desired.

That's what I have found as well. Wrapping the K-3 in bacon didn't really do much beyond spoiling the bacon

but marinating it in Highland single malt for a week really worked wonders!

Or was I the marinated one - it's all a little blurry...

Aaanyway, I'm pretty sure single malt is the answer.

Me too, but not Highland. It isn't that I dislike the Highlands, but on the rare occasions that I can bring myself to spend the money on a single malt, I have a rule. If it doesn't come from Islay, I don't buy it.

EDIT: I did buy a bottle of Glen Moray a while back. It was actually pretty good, and relatively (compared to Ardbeg, Laphroaig, etc.) inexpensive.

Oh, I agree! Islay (or Orkney) all the way. For drinking. But for marinating a K-3 the Highlands seem better. Don't know why, could be the bagpipes.

You all have that going on down there too? Not only is Tokyo doomed, so is the rest of the world. livE hociR has a retsaM nalP and looks like it might be working. Bacon grease to the rescue.
And not buying K-3.

Too late for some of us, the hociR brainscrubbing circles of confusion worked.

Now, that's an idea. I must go experiment.

I'm wondering whether there is a Ricoh camera community somewhere that are treating Pentax with despise and are sceptically monitoring how the Pentax brand encroaches on their territory.
