Mark B. - Please let us know the defective part causing your nightmare!!! If there are at least two parts that were sent to you, me thinks there could be others.

I also would rather hear dirt on the defective item and its producer... than on the vendor that sold you the defective part unknowingly?

Maybe others would have issues later and could use this info? Why protect the manufacturer or the item?

Just a question. Thanks.

WEB Motorsports???

anyone heard from them in a while? After that Flame chain that went througth NAM i have not seen many post since. Are they still in the Mini Business?

should I place another order with them? Do they take forever with replies, or back stock?

not wanting to put salt in a wound, but I do know they have produced some great add-ons for the MINI.
have they got a new office, order takers?

thanks,

Threads Merged.

From the sounds of it, Brian is back starting the process of responding to people. It may take a while for them to get through everything, but Brian is currently working the issues.

I think if you want to support Randy and you can wait.....wait.....how much longer can it be until we know what is happening......

If you can't wait.... you don't have much choice.....

Yep, that simple as Spider says,

I'm in the first sentence there. I can wait....so I'll wait, because I personally like what Webb currently has over other vendors, even with this torch and pitchfork mob. If you need something right now, I wouldn't count on it.

I speak to you, the North American Motoring people, as a humble public servant. It is an honor to be thus selected to lead our great forum in its time of need - and if anyone says I'm a Webb Fan Boy, my participation in this mission should prove that they are full of crap..

Whilst it is inexpedient to announce the entire team I am to lead, I believe it informative to announce now some of those with especially important roles to play.




Jimz68 aka Jimz68, will serve as my personal body guard. He has proven invaluable in protecting my delicate person in such noted global hotspots as West Oakland and San Ramon. He also will provide photographic documentation of our Mission for my upcoming book – “Naked Came I – Uncovering the Fourth Member of the Axis of Evil aka James Randall Webb.” Look for me on Hannity and Colmes during my fall book tour.


I am sorry that I cannot reveal more of our mission at this time. All I can say is that we hope to liberate your unshipped goods in a timely manner and minimize casualties and collateral damage.

Staff Sergeant Skippy Loder

Just thought I'd let you know I've had the operation to return my hands to normal appearance. Plus, I have a new found talent in that I can play guitar. Never could before! Easier to eat Cheez-its,too.

It means that today, at a gas station in San Rafael someone attempted to panhandle me.....where were you? Posting? Your job is to protect me......I could have been seriously panhandled if I hadn't quickly averted my eyes and locked myself in my truck.

You were hand selected by me for you cat like reflexes, your herculean strength, your inhuman bloodlust, your gentle but rough back massages and your photobook of hot asian SEMA models in catholic schoolgirl outfits.

I made you Jim - I can un-make you and have you back in the barracks serving as a "comfort boy"!

Well lookey here - Glenn is posting too..........my whole squad is screwing off when you shoud be preparing for our mission.

If you think for a minute that this latest blitz of customer service by the sinister Mr. Brian Black is genuine, well you obviously have forgotten your training and are ignoring the cries of woe from your fellow NAMmers.

Mr. Black and his cohorts are attempting to turn popular opinion of the Citizens of NAM against our Mission.

Jsouz's post is part of a diabolically clever piece of propganda aimed at getting the Queen to forestall our raid. "Randy'll will post on Monday or Tuesday....." right. Give him more time - sure.........

The time to strike is now! Do not be lulled by the soothing forked tongue of al Webb! Harden your hearts men and let's move on them tonight!

......well after 10:00 PM - I'm taking the kids to see "Monster House" - after that we can bring those foul late-shippers and hateful e-mail box stuffers to justice!

Just thought I would point some of you to this thread. We are selling it mainly to invest some money back into the company. I hope this shows some the dedication we are willing to demonstrate to turn the company around.

The Elise is going by by as well. Hey... any of you want to buy a 300hp elise?

I think he wants around $45-48k. If he is serious have him shoot me an e-mail.

The exhaust is getting close. Just need to decide what we are going to do with the collecter.

I want an Elise and would buy it right away, but the problem is they are inadmissible to import to Canada, I can only buy a Canadian 2006 Elise here but they want $70k when they sell for around $32k on eBay and yours is already modified, that really suck, I want it...

Sorry to hear the Mule and Elise are for sale but it is very good to hear your making the efforts to get WMS back on track. I look forward to making some orders in the future.

I'd go for it but I'm thinking my ensuing, if I were to do this, divorce would make payments difficult and it's not large enough to live in
