George, nice freaking constructive post (GET YOUR FRUSTRATION SOMEWHERE
ELSE), your the best...NOTTTT
I i have to read that kind of crap by listee in my mail box i will stop my
Vanagon mailing list relationship.
I own a 73, if it wasn't for those guys i would be stuck with buying used
parts or go back to a Washer leaker (that i don't want, even if i just
bought back my 84), so give those guys some credit (Bus depot, Vanagan,
CIP1, Volkscafe) >>
What's your beef with my post, Slick? "GET YOUR FRUSTRATION SOMEWHERE
ELSE", what does that mean? The only thing that I find frustrating is that
guys like you can't get their heads out of their a$$es long enough to realize
that there are thousands upon thousands of brick-and-mortar parts sellers who
will equal or better any deal you find on the internet. And, they'll do it
without all the dropped balls and the attendant hollow apologies. I think that
informing Vanagon owners of their options for sourcing parts IS very
constructive.
There are only a few master importers bringing this stuff into the country
and all the parts guys, whether on the net or on the next street, have to go to
them. Sure there is a little stuff that drops off the back of the truck and
escapes the normal distribution circuits, but don't delude yourself into
thinking that just because someone has pasted together a purty web page they are
also lining up their trucks to unload a container ship.
So, whether it is from the VW dealer or the Bug Haus down the road, my best
advice is to BUY LOCAL.
Then you characterize one of Ken's prospective customers as an "asshole".
Adam did nothing to merit that classification. In fact he did exactly what is
expected of any honorable person who enters this forum: he reported his
experience regarding Vanagons for the benefit of all instead of pandering to some
select vendors.
By the way, no one is forcing you to read anything. Learn to do what I do
and work the hell out of your delete button.
George
