Minspeed clearing out inventory

Hey, guys was up visiting Peter (Minspeed) today (MCS needs a clutch) and apparently he is clearing out his inventory.

Bunch of people there today picking up stuff.

Yeah, total bummer....

Already ordered a set of leather down tubes and leather inside door grab wraps.

Gonna miss them as I have bought lots of stuff from him over the years and has always been a fantastic vendor.

Was putting several items on my holiday list from them - then saw the "important announcement" notice - then today (guess it's official ):
http://www.minspeed.net/index.php

Any idea who bought them? They did have a few innovative items I hadn't seen anyplace else...

Pete's a good guy ... I wish him well, and hope this isn't because of his health --

Peter told me but its not place to say. Let me say that the guys that picked up Minspeed are well known to the board and I never heard a bad thing about them while a member on NAM.

Peter truly loved the business he developed and would only sell the business to people that felt the same way about Minis and the people who drive them. I am sure they will make an announcement and I don't want to steal their thunder.

The next time you have beer in your hand, raise your glass to Peter and Minspeed. Cheers to Peter and Minspeed.

Sad day....the site has been all but shutdown.....I'm pretty sure I know the buyer of his excess stock....If it is who I think it is, they should do a good job continuing with what is left, and their own stuff.

Sorry to see ya go,
Good luck Pete!!

That sucks. I always had good service from them over the years, and they had the coolest business cards around.
