Considering the hit the US Dollar has taken to the Euro and the Pound in
the last 3 years, I don't think that 16.5% is bad at all.

Every now and again we get some chat regarding rising prices for the parts we need for our cars. I found that in three years the price of an MGB clutch slave cylinder had gone up 50% - So I did a little study. I selected 21 items from the Jan 2001 Moss catalog and compared it with the most recent. The overall increase was 16.5% and surprisingly there were two decreases - one a whopping 52.6%! This is an observation and not a criticism so no flack please!
