(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...I did NOT PLACE AN ORDER in the group buy ....and this is because, the manufacturer will cut and provide the correct dimensions to ensure the length and width will work/fit the 914 seats.......and when I went on the hunt for proper material, reproduction, of o.e.m about a year ago ...I discovered AUTOMOBLE ATLANTA had already put in a major order and the mfg. was wating for more orders, and or timing as their looms have to be specially set up for the runs.... this group buy deal was going to save the group 20%?...with all the uncertaines, extra shipping and NOT being able to have the mfg. responsible ultimately if their was a problem just made no sense to me. I guess another factor is that we support a business ..A A who was the Ineatiator of the remake of 914 seat upolstry colors in the first place. saving a miserable 20%, and be in leftout field if there,s a problem is just stupid . I suggest we try and support those specialty business which supply and support our cars that are now 38 years old +/_. a small amount of loyalty to the businesses that we need seems appropiate.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) If you didn't place an order and had nothing to do with this, then why show up and slam someone that was trying to help everyone? Also, this may come as a surprise to you but a lot of us would rather go without before buying from AA. |

But it is ok that you are wrong cuz it makes no difference and has nothing to do with what i started this thread for. but it did show what an a$$hole you are. all good. |

I'm sorry that there was such a waste of time and expenses. If I had wanted that material and knew it was going to be a savings and that the material would be the best available, writing a check would have been a pleasure because shopping from a computer is the easiest cheapest way I can get hard to find 914 parts. I like pp but some people don't and I can understand why as they have never really helped in my disputes, all the seller has to do is withdraw his funds after he gets them and the games over. I wasted 240.00 on a guy in canada on two 915 shifters and linkage parts. There is a chance customs screwed the deal up but still I never got the parts. Even when you get a refund pp gets some of that. So you still loose some money. Annnnnyway I buy from George because he tries to sell a good product but he really doesn't put the product in the box or try it out for fit before he sends it out and you really can't say any of the really big places use all of their products. I am definately glad he is in business as long as I'm in the 914 hobby. Even if he dissapoints me, the next time I need something, I will still see what he's got and how much it is and try to research it before I order it. I'm betting he is constantly trying to improve. Hell I've bought colt pistols only to find out the workmanship is better on a ruger vaquero so it's up to us to keep the vendors straight. Just like Judicial Watch tries to keep all politicians honest. You think venders are hard to keep straight? try keeping a lawyer straight.
Sorry for the rant. Charlie |

QUOTE saving a miserable 20%, and be in leftout field if there,s a problem is just stupid "Spending 20-40% more to be in leftout field if there's a problem is even morer stupider..."

If it's not too late maybe you just need to advertise a little further out in the web. I know this is the most popular site. A thought just occured, I wonder if that is the same pattern used in the camaros?
