John got with me...

Email sent to you sam.

Where did you send it? I never got it.

strano@stranoparts.com

I must have spelled something wrong, I'll rewrite it and send it out tomorrow. Sorry bout that.

Sam ~ how's the count looking now ?

Thanks

'round about 7.

Putting in the build order today. Hopefully we'll have them in a few weeks.

On the list I have:

Glenn Landrum
Supermac
John Boiger
Ben Fischer
Greg Wellinghoff
Andrew Meyer
John Riggs
Rick Carlson

While I don't have 10 confirmed, I'm going to risk it because I know a few of these guys need them sooner than later. Please don't hang me out to dry on these.

Any chances of an offset lower bushing being made?

No. While we could for the front bushing, we can't for the rear and none of us want to give up the ton of caster you'd lose by pushing the fronts out but not the rears a like amount. Rears can't be done legally under ESP rules.

Hey Sam,

Add me to the list. I'll shoot you a call today or tomorrow with a CC number. Thanks!

Jason S.

Even the fronts are debateable under the same rule, and I suspect that bushing failure would be a problem.

I got ya. don't worry about the CC number now (since I know you'll be around). Just shoot me a good phone number.

Sam

Sam, put me in for a set.

Sam, pull me off that list. i've been working on making my own set. i'm not limited to SCCA auto-x rules (NASA CMC) so i'll be able to make them w/out the same restrictions you had to work around and thus much cheaper. Sorry if this caused any problems on your part.

I need your name and phone number please.

Sam, I am also very interested in purchasing a set. I'll call you sometime in the next week.

Hey Sam, could I ask about progress without being a total nag?

I'll have to check (haven't gotten and update lately). I'll be back.

Update: I should see them late next week.

And Glenn.... Thanks. You knew I was making these to order and I was doing the right thing by not charging you guys. No good dead goes unpunished.

fine, put me back down for them.
give me a contact # and i'll have the CC # called in.
$175 for the set, right?

Glen,
If you really don't want them, I'll take them. Let me know.

no, i'll take them. i really do need them and this is the fastest way to get them.

called 3 times today. left a message the 3rd time.

Glenn, if you end up not using these, I would like to purchase them from you.

i havent purchased them yet. my wife left a message, so i assume she spoke clearly.

well lets see here.
on the 24th Sam posts that he's upset w/ me for backing out. w/ in 2 hours i post back that i would follow thru and buy them. i had my wife call 3 times the next day (the 25th) to pay for them and got voice mail. she left a message w/ a contact #. as of today after noon (the 31st - thats 2.5 day waiting for him to return my call), no return call so i had her call back. Sam told her he has another buyer in my place for them. wife calls me and i say call him right back and tell him i want them. he does not answer- voice mail again.

Sam, were ya bitching just to be bitching? your pretty dificult to deal w/ man. it took what, a whole day to sell them?

Bushings are in and those who wanted them can expect a call in the next day or so to finalize the payment (except Ben Fischer who already paid).

As far as this other nonsence. I was pretty clear when I said I was making another batch and started taking names. I did NOT ask for payment because I thought I could trust the folks here not to say "I'm in", then be out. I only let you off the hook because TurboToddie happened to call and want a set about the same time you bailed because of the cost (a cost you knew about). I thought I was being nice when I let you off the hook for them, but somehow that was the wrong thing to do too.

I got one voice-mail from your wife (and notably not from you). I did not return it because you didn't want them, I had since promised them to someone else, and I don't have time. Since we've spoken and I told her you were off the hook and that's the last I've heard. If you really do need them and this is the fastest way, it's news to me. I haven't gotten so much as an e-mail saying "I goofed up" from you. I got NO voice-mail from *you*, and I'm the only one here to get them. I'm sorry, but they are all presently accounted for. I know many of you think I just sit here and pull a paycheck, but you try running a business with 4 phone lines, e-mail, shipping, recieving, bills, bank transfers, etc. by yourself..... I wasn't about to waste my time when you told me (by way of this forum) you didn't want them you could build them cheaper. So your wallet was more important, then it wasn't because you suddenly didn't have time.

If a set frees up from someone else suddenly changning their minds, I'll let you know.

i can still get them made cheaper for my application and that is still moving foreward. i said i was back in only because you were correct in that i said i would take a set. you had issue w/ me backing out so i decided it was the right thing for me to do. your issue of "getting stuck" w/ them seems unfounded.

and for further dealings w/ me, my wife is allowed to speak on my behalf. i have asked her to do so on many occations and will continue to do so for reasons no different than yourself, i too have a job.

as for another set, don't bother. i tried to follow thru w/ my commitment. as far as i'm concerened, i owe you nothing.

I prefer this forum w/out flames, please. Flames can be done via PMs

You owe me nothing, which is why I didn't take your money. That didn't stop you from backing out after I explictly told everyone I was building sets I had calls for, and would appreciate not being jerked around. I appreciate the fact you were manning up, I wish you'd have done so without my reminder you that you put yourself on that list.

As far as I'm concerned this is over. You got out of your set and that's that.

Got mine on Saturday, thanks Sam!

You're welcome Cody.... Thank you!

I'll try to contact you tomorrow with my CC # on the set you have for me Sam

Thanks
Andrew
