>Hi David, I have probably one of the last of the original 64 Eurospec kits. >Our 90 Carat is in Mesa, Arizona.

It does >not matter that the kit was missing various parts and that some of the >parts were faulty! As a matter of fact, in my original conversations with >Eurospec, they never informed me that they were getting out of the business. >WHAT IS THE TRUTH HERE? DID MR.DAVID MEEKS LEAVE ON BAD TERMS?

Boy, I would love to talk to Mr. Meeks. I >know my mechanic does!

I will send letters as >well as get a hold of the Governing bodies who watch over these companys. >IT IS NOT THE MONEY! IT IS THE PRINCIPLE! I am a Contractor and I must >stand by my product. Eurospec should do the same! Thanks, STEVE >dgsggold@gte.net
