Oy.....so much for talking about antennae.....I'm sorry I even brought it up.

Funny, this isn't the first time I've started a thread only to see it devolve like this. Oh well, in the immortal words of Roseanne Rosannadanna.....never mind!

Tru dat, we are bored. Hey Randy, doesn't it hurt your arm to be driving around the track holding a flag? I bet you can go faster without it.

Just MY opinion is all...which I am entitled to as this is America the last time I checked. My intention was not to offend you Randy or any of the other vendors...if I did, then I apologize.

I just wish the parts for these cars were as different as the car itself from all the rest. If you engineer/develop/design a product then slap your name on it and don't ***** it out to everyone else so they can slap there name on it as well....don't be a follower, make yourself unique...attract customers by being different. Following is the norm these days for most industries but my money will go to those companies that innovate and engineer above and beyond everyone else with solid customer service to help the company grow.

Randy - innovate more and make us spend our hard earned $$$ on your products by being the best on the market above and beyond the followers.

We had an S2000 antenna and we thought it looked great and performed well, that is until it got swiped off our car. Certainly looked better then the stock antenna IMO. I heard the S2000 antenna only works well in Virginia
time to cross the bridge Wagnbat... less crime and better reception

Randy is an innovater and he said he did the testing and design work on alot of parts. He never claimed to be a manufacturer. Everyone has seen pictures of Webb MotorSports and nowhere in any of them do you see the tools it would take to actually make these parts. You have to go through a professional manufacturer. Production and design are two completely different aspects. And for a small market, like Mini performance products, you certainly can't do everything in house. I don't know what kind of business you are in, but I am also a small business owner and I defiinitely have to outsource some of my products. No one buying a 15% reduction pulley is under the impression that Randy hand machined it. If he contracted Craven to produce his crank pulley and shifter, and put his name on them, then its living up to his quality standard. I trust anything he puts his name on. And I certainly wouldn't say he whored himself out just because he aided H-Sport and Alta in the production of some of the first real Mini performance parts.
