The Weekend Miner
MINER'S MART
Introduction
We have all spent a lot of time looking for things to enhance the safety, the experience (usually this means access to locations or comfort, once we get there) or the efficiency of our hobbies. In the spirit of extending the efficiencies of The Weekend Miner, as a "data mine", we have identified a number of items and will attempt to bring them to you in an efficient and logical manner. We plan to bring you information and offers on things we find educational, interesting and useful. For each product or group of products we will let you know, in a sentence or two, why we chose that specific product or service for representation here. If you have suggestions for additions to this list please, feel free to tell us about them and why you feel it would be beneficial to include them. If it is OK to identify you by your web name and country, state, county and/or city in the recommendation or narrative for the product or section, please let us know. Personalization of things like this, I feel, always adds a nice touch. Please keep any suggestions in good taste. Remember, this is intended as a family site.

Auto Parts, Accessories and Conversion Items

There will be one question that will always come up regarding this part of a website. "Do you suppose they are making money on this?" The answer is, "We hope we make a little. We would like to offset some of the costs of running the site, the research data, office supplies and all the other things we never really expected when we started." Your use of our links would be appreciated, but as Lee Iococa said, "If you find a better deal, buy it!" - to which we add "and then tell us about it". The company or product might be a good addition to our site.
