I hope you're this vocal when you start having issues with all the RMW crap on your car...but...I won't hold my breath.

You(along with a bunch of other people) have been "programmed" to not say anything bad about RMW.
It's really quite sad that the adults that have bought his parts and toons are too scared to post about any issues or problems.

haha, another classic comment

Seriously, "programmed" Your kidding right? Like Jan is a super mind melder thats smitten us all with his super powers! Maybe he's from Vulcan and used the spock on us through our monitors! ....people are scared to post when they have issues? What planet are you from?

Why on earth would I come to a forum and bash any vendor? I, like an adult would contact them and work it out civilly. I would also certainly contact the vendor that I purchased the products through first. I have been fortunate enough to have every vendor I've delt with here on NAM be responsible and quick to fix any and all issues that I've had. Including Jan. M7 is another company that I've had great dealings with. They too have been spot on with their customer service

Believe it or not, Jan's a pretty sensible guy to work with. It amuses me that people talk about him and his "followers" like its some weird cult or that were all brainwashed... Like your any different anyway

I thought I would use the term "programmed" to be nice.

I'm pretty sure i'm from the same planet as you...just NOT the same school.

As far as the rest of your post...you must not be on the "phone list".

Not to mention, Helix is a much more reputable and respectable vendor...I would have went right around them too so they didn't have to get dragged down with Jan's defective parts. It's not their fault the header throws constant codes.

BTW, thanks for keeping the thread on top.

Seriously Joaquin,

For a guy who's never owned an RMW product and who never will, why are you so angry and eager to slander RMW/Jan every chance you can in thread after thread?? Your rant is so so over played now it's getting to be a joke. Do you feel like your helping someone some how?

We get it man!! You don't like the guy or his products. WOW.

I hope I picked the correct day and hour in the "When will this tread be locked" pool. We are up to about $175 bucks for the winner.

I don't see you reprimanding Intense...he started it ...back up again.
Looks to me like he posted just to get a dig in to the OP.

Actually Bryan, it is a joke...but not from this side.

Right on...the issue is done and over. I don't understand why Intense chose to bring the thread right back to the top.

GOOD JOB JOAQUIN

You and your boys are right on top. I guess you tell the customers at the dealership to call BMW or MINI to fix their cars cause you only sell the parts.
You still won't let the M7 battle slide away.

Who said anything about M7?

Why do all the RMW reps keep bringing this thread to the top? Doesn't your boss just want it to die down?

There is something really wrong here if you think THIS thread is more entertaining than direct Tv. Really, review the channels you subscribe to.

I am still waiting for my leather RMW jacket.....

We can have a gang fight, west side story style. With snapping and all. Longboard can be the leader. Nobody messes with his boy.

Yeah but....

Since you created that post about all the negativity should you not lead by example and not take these types of threads deeper into the morass?

From JIMINNI's first post in his thread, it sounds like he's talking about people bashing the MINI itself...davisflyer posts about vendor bashing in the 2nd post.

Again Man I don't get you anymore? Is this entertainment for you? Are you just bored?

What is it?

Now your all over the place with your conspiracy theory BS .

You have know idea how many motors, heads, street headers, race headers, lsd's, clutch's, exhausts, coilovers, cams, Meth kits and countless other parts RMW has sold. I have a clue and it's huge. Not to mention that he's easily tuned more Minis then anyone in the country.

Is everything going to be perfect and nothing ever breaks or go's wrong? Hell no as that's part of doing business. You of all people should know as you see 100's of cars stopping in to your work to get things fixed or replaced. Yes even BMW has problems. I was reading last night how the new kid on the block is having some problems with their new item. It happens.

Do you really think that when a guy buys a RMW part he signs an agreement keeping him from ever talking if he has a problem . See how crazy that sounds . He has hundreds of customer world wide man.

He tried to help EZ but that wasn't going to happen. I said it before but this guy never wanted his header fixed. He got the header and unfortunately got the light. He then saw that his local vendor had a new header he felt was better. Rather then allow RMW to fix the problem (per their policy) he wanted cash back so he could get the other header he felt was better. I called him on this but he claimed I was way off the mark. Well, now that he got his CC company to credit him the money he's bragging on his local vendors web page that he's finally on the list to get that header he's always wanted. Eventually the truth come out.

So I don't know what's going on with you man. You used to be a respected member here who had actual helpful things to post and now you come off as just a bitter guy.

Bryan

Hey LB, do you have ANY financial stake in RMW? Have you ever? All of this would make sense if you did.
