Kudos to a NAM vendor

Living in Europe, I've come to expect a wait of weeks to get anything delivered from the States. I ordered an M7 front STB, oil catch can. aerogel blanket and a new Alta mini antenna last week... Guess what showed up at the Post Office today!


to the folks at Custom Mini Shop! Their reputation has been solidly cemented for me...the fact that they ship to APOs w/out a lot of hassle makes it even better for me. I don't know how they do it but it seems like everyone I've talked to has the same experience--they must have their own SR-71 to get parts over here so quickly!

Brad was cool to talk to last week too...Thanks again for teh great service!

Great guys
I just happened to be at the shop when you called. As soon as You finished talking to Brad he started packing your order and headed off to the post office these guys dont mess around

It must be nice to get to drive the "ring" on a regular basis to test new mods.

They must have some kind of connection w/ the delivery folks because I've never had anything show up that quickly...even when I've paid for "overnight" delivery.

I finally broke down and got an annual pass to the 'Ring...a lot of $$ up front but I break even after 60 laps. I usually get in 20 or so laps every weekend...takes me ~ 1/2 a tank to drive there then I burn the rest doing 6 or 7 laps. Then I get a splash of gas on site to get me to the nearest Esso station where I can fill up a lot cheaper w/my coupons.

Best time so far w/ a basically stock car plus sticky tires is a 9:33.11. Can't wait to see what the STB does for me this weekend!
