solus is new mt2500 sort of. windows c.e. based with full color grafhing much faster than the2500 and is C.A.N. ready. larger screen can road test graf and data at same time and has glitch finder. get your dealer to demo one you will love it

the smoke E-vap machine should be able to pay for it self in a couple of weeks if you use it on every car that comes in to your shop. will find leaks in places you didnt think to look.

GOODT...several months back I got your number but lost it. I'm looking for someone in the Annapolis area that works on go-fast boats. How can I get in touch with you?
Thanks, Dave
