NOTHING..........IT WAS TO CLEAR UP WHOS WHO. NO PUN INTENDED!!!!!!!

Instead of making this a **** session, why not ask me relevant questions like what type of cores do you use, whats your manifold made of etc etc.

Aww, we are in agreement. That's all I was saying before. MINICorsa--Danny is a one man, or two man shop. He doesn't need a 15,000 sf facility to do his work. I'm also a one man shop--well sometimes I have assistants--and things are more cramped--but that's besides the point.

If your point of posting the pictures was to clarify who the players were and not to belittle them that you have a bigger place than they do, fine--then state that. But everything in this thread has been about who is faster, better, more powerful---it just didn't seem Kosher that that was the only motive for "clarifying" the situation....but if that's all you meant, then fine.

As a vendor, shouldn't you tell us what the manifold is made of, etc. and not make us ask?

In all honesty clarification was its only intended purpose. I would love to post more pictures of the interior of our shop not to brag or showoff but to show what kind of development goes on in here. I feel that this is the only way to get to know us better but you guys please cut us a break we started off on the wrong foot per se.

As "Mr. Joe public" on NAM, another words, I have nothing to gain but to buy stuff for my car. I accepted your first "apology" way back in this thread. But now you do this and want another break. Gentelmen, you need a course on public relations. Just stick to what you seem to do best and make parts for our cars and sell them to us a resonable prices and please let the drama be buried. But unfortunatly you have dug yourselfs quiet a large hole.

Seems to me that we have a stalker on this board!
But, seriously...Why show Mini Corsa? If your point was to remove yourself from RMS, what does Danny have to do with this?

I think someone is trying to compensate for something by showing us their huge building...

And we're done...

Frankly I'm disappointed in this whole thread. A new vendor came on, we had another vendor post to it, vendors went after each other, questions of credibility come into play, and we finish up with showing off brick and mortar locations all the while delivering a caning to all involved.

While I know that things here (NAM) are not always pleasant I have always intended that the site be used by members and vendors to discuss, research, and draw their own conclusions on every facet of MINI ownership. I DO NOT relish having to step in to any thread and try to steer it back onto level ground. At this point we're so far askew that there is no other course to take but to lock and ultimately remove this from public view. Emotions have gotten too high and the points being made too low.

As much as dislike having to put rules in place its probably time to do so. In the next few weeks I'll be putting out some new guidelines for vendors based on how they use the site relative to other vendors.

For the time being its time for everyone to cool off a bit and take a walk around the park.

Mark
