I have to agree with Neil. I have always received the orders I've given Gary. Just about all of the orders have arrived in great time. He's always been fair and I've never, ever had a problem with the parts he's sent me. A guy is allowed to have a private life, even though he's instrumental in getting our cars finished.

I pm'ed Roger Van Hoy, yesterday, but, I'll say it publicly, now, and this is only from my past post-1983 experience from knowing Gary and ordering beaucoup parts for my car, since then, from him, AND as being a sole proprietor, myself: Gary, for the past few years has had one employee/assistant. It's not Gary's 'fault' that no one else reproduces as many essential 'soft' parts, for our cars, as he does. Despite public-outcry, Gary apparently insists on having a private life; he DID get married a few years ago (you might recall the uproar over his having absented himself from "our" business, while he enjoyed his honeymoon ). Gary's business model, for the past decade, or 2, has been to receive a fax-order (the receipt of which he might not have acknowledged; hey, I'm only describing, not defending his business). He also has been decried for taking a "long" time to complete an order, but, to my knowledge, no one has ever claimed to have been defrauded by him. Altho I've never made a multi-$ k oder from him, I have received my orders along WITH an invoice--you better BELIEVE that the bill gets paid, quickly. Some people have become upset because they have included their payment, with their order. This complaint I can understand. I have received sub-standard quality molded-rubber pieces from him (notably a driver's foot-pad, and also a brake pedal .) Gary has either refunded my money, or given me return-credit , when I have been dissatisfied with his products. I am not a member (or fan!) of either 300-club, but Gary is, it's where he got his "start", & he attends one or both of their 'meets', including the Barrett Jackson meet, each JAN. So, as you can read, I'm not Gary's PR Department, but I AM very happy that his business exists, and realize that he just does not have TIME to correspond, or 'chat' @-length, with his customers. (Given, that there's only so-many work hours in a day, and that he's "always" back-logged, I'd rather have Gary be attending to finishing MY project, than talking with "you" , AND, I'm sure: vice-versa!!!! ) Neil Vedder ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options,
