And, THANKS to all of you who commented in a positive way.

I work VERY HARD at maintaining my reputation and certainly don't hide or avoid any situation, whether positive or negative.

Believe it or not...I actually am a "real" Car Guy, not some grab the money and hide in the office promoter. I take great pride in what I do and what I represent.

Bob Ashton, I'm just one little guy in the car world that can see, hear, read and feel all you do for the hobby. You must know that you have many friends, well wishers and admirers at YENKO.net.

Most of can read and fully understand the supplier problem that fell upon you.

Best regards and please know we appreciate all the efforts that you and Vicki put forth.

And...I may have gotten to the bottom of those calls.

Here at Championship, we have eight male employees, four of which are named Bob.

My Boss, Bob Larivee Jr., just came to my desk and said that someone who was very upset left a message on his voice mail. Jr. has been out of the office for the last two weeks. The caller did not leave a complete call back number.

Hmmm....

Anyway, the newly sprayed Bronze Spinners are curing up as we speak and will be boxed up and UPS shipped tomorrow.

Thanks Again for all of the kind comments, (speaking for Vicki too) and also for the patience of those affected by this unfortunate situation.

BA

I know what you mean! Funnny story: a few years back my prosecutors office was challenged to a grudge match softball game by another prosecutors office. We knew we were going to lose the game big time. So I offered to get the trophies for the contest. (I made them up out of the roomful of old carshow trophies I had)

The winning team was so impressed when I pulled the 4 foot tall, 1st place trophy out of my truck and presented it to them. Their mood changed drasticly when I brought out the runner's up trophy for our office. It was 7 feet tall and looked like something out of John Carpenter's movie "The Thing". I wish I had a photo of that moment. It was priceless! It's been 11 years and the office still has that trophy proudly displayed.

[/ QUOTE ]From what I see I would agree, as I said in my post You have put a breath of fresh air into a almost dead show. I understand the hold up but more follow up would be great. We all have many irons in the fire, maybe a weekly follow up on someting like this in the future would not bring this type of problem up.
