My bad, I thought you were taking serious punches toward everyone. I apologize.
Chris.


In the future I hope to put my car to the test.

 

its drag racing banter and encouragement mostly. at least coming from my keyboard...

good luck on putting your car to the test... becareful its addicting... it can be alot like golf though... you go out the first day... you make your first pass and your just glad you didn't embarass the hell out of your self... and then you try to hard for the rest of the day with little spots of sucess that keep you hooked... then the 2nd or 3rd time out... you get a little bored unless you start figuring your car out... and then there just isn't enought, gas, tread, clutch or time left in the day...

 

ROTFLMAO Isellem summed up a day at the drags in one paragraph

 

Actually the 13.09 was on slicks, the BFG was hitting the rpm limit before the line.

It does have to be the mother off all runs to beat that time everything has to be spot on, weather, track, car, driver but it is an excellent challenge.

Unfortunatley 10s is my next goal and drive home

 

Respect is located at the end of the final lap.

 

so what was this thread about again?
ahh, who cares.
Ranting on is way better!
I love keeping up with this thread.

 

You're right there I hope to be making my final lap on the May 11th and picking up a $1000

ha ha yer syuch a pimp! As soon as I can afford to break I'll start racing again

 

Theres some great news on the way......stay tuned

 

Might I suggest next time you use the new vendor forum thing that was created. If it's implemented/moderated the way it says it should up the signal to noise ratio of useful posts.

 

Its about giving a warm NAM welcome to a new vendor.

 

Well I wanted to clear some things up...We received many emails regarding this very subject. These pictures are only intended to clear things up. Gintani does not want anymore problems. We are here to answer any questions about our products or ideas you may have regarding your Mini. Hope this sorts all the confusion.

 

Damn Ithought you had posted a new dyno sheet

 

I'm not trying to be rude here, but I really don't get it. How does this clear anything up??








Being in a bigger building means??

Atleast to me, it means you have bigger bills, and need to charge more to cover your rent instead of important things like R&D. I would much prefer Danny working in my own garage at home if that's what it took to get him to work on my car. It's about knowledge, professionalism, and respect, not showing off or belittling your customers. I've referred a lot of people to Danny after having had him work on my car because I think he does great work at a fair price. I'm sure if his shop was 5 times bigger, he would charge a lot more money, and I wouldn't be guaranteed of him working on my car.

Where does this all end??

 

What subject are you trying to project to us ?

Nice building though. Did you guys purchase the building or are you leasing?

Longboard

 

This thread just sunk lower than I couldn't have imagined .

 

Are you kidding me? You took the time to drive by the shops and take pictures? Could you please also drive by and post pics of Steve's Auto Clinic, Bimmer Clinic and Jonie's Auto in San Pedro.

Thank you.

 

Thats totally an assumption regarding R&D why dont you stop by since you are in California. Showcar I will gladly give you a tour of our R&D department.
Another option if you decide not to take a tour is to post some pics of the interior of our shop. What would you like? Also I tried giving you a call but your number isnt working is there an alternate number.

 

I need a pic of Dunkin Donuts also .

 

Hmmmm......





Lets all label pictures of obvious things.
Tell us something important, not brag about what you have.. or rent.

 

Hey when you guys sat here on NAM and called us RMS that created issues regarding who is GINTANI. Now we post pics of the different shops and theres still drama. Unbelievable..........

 

You're right it's an assumption. But it doesn't take an engineer or a financial wizard to realize that bigger overhead means you need bigger income to support it, unless you already had it to begin with.....

I'll be glad to show you my building.



15,000 SF. Is it all mine? Nope! I rent about 1,800 SF of it. =)

And not sure why you call me ShowCar. My name is Richard, and I go by the name OctaneGuy on all the forums.

Shall I call you Gin or Ginny???? There a billion ways to contact me.
Mobile, Toll Free, Email, AIM, Skype, YIM, PM on about a dozen forums including my own. Maybe if you looked a little harder you would find a way, but honestly, don't bother, I've got more important things to do with my time, like make money to support my family and pay my rent.

Richard

 

What does RMS or Gintani have to do with MiniCorsa?

Longboard

 

I doubt he even knows.

 

Well im happy for you to be able to rent your portion of what looks like a nice place. Having space this size is a requirement for us. I am sure as your business grows you will move into your own space that better suits your business, however this building suits our business.
