M7 appreciation

I got to say that if there was an "aftermarket vendor of the year" it would be hard to find a company more deserving than M7...... look at the amount of "out of the box" new parts they have brought to us..... AGS, DFIC, Under Strut Sytem, Cosworth....the list goes on.... these guys are a big part of what makes this car fun...... others have done some great things but in the last 12 mo it is hard not to give the "award" to M7.

My hats off to you guys and thanks for your vision and dedication

Bob

Webb Motorsports is definitely up there, they got a lot of great products of their own, and Randy touring doing all those pullies.

Not even close to what M7 has done!
BTW, this is a M7 thread, not WMS.
Nice try, though.

+1, Peter is great to talk to and is usually available to talk.......if not, he WILL call you back. One day I was wrenching on the MINI, and my phone was in my pocket, and some how I unknowingly auto-dialed Peter. He even called me back after I mistakenly prank called him.

I am expecting my AGS in the next week or so and along with it a 60mm TB to replace my 62mm..... Peter et al have discovered the 60mm will work better for my needs.... both are M7 one bought from a dealer of M7...... Peter is making me a good deal to make the swap...... he did not have to ... he just is.....

Huh...I hope that means that the "Box Man" (my boy's reference to UPS/FedEx) will be visiting me soon...I'm expecting the same, the side vents and strut brace...

heheh they used to if that counts for anything

And Randy still takes his to the track constantly.

I agree though....something to the extent of Peter's original mule with all the new parts would be awesome.

Been an appreciator of M7 since the start, and still am

Thanks for the kind words Matt and everyone in this most unexpected thread. We too would love to have a race car as Peter is a hell of a driver. We actually have a bare mini with full cage which has been sitting in his back yard for going on two years now. We just do not have the time to finish it and believe me we would love to. At this point we have had to make a decision with our resources and have chosen to develop new products , manufacturer and ship our current products and answer the phone and emails in order to provide the best customer service we can. We would love to come out and play but just don't have the time for both. For now we will continue to sponsor the current points leader in the series ,Whalen , and look for good results from the Onasled / M7 project later in the year. Again we at M7 are overwhelmed by this thoughtful thread and are more determined than ever to keep business first on your behalf.

Our onasled will be sporting M7 mods, and will hopefully be doing so on a track later this Summer...

As much as Peter loves to race, he is even more engaged in development, and supporting his growing customer base. I like how he's ramped-up his team to keep the support what it was from day one!

Wow. This is a lovely thread! Congrats Spider and MSFITOY on your coming goodies . I expect test rides to hold me over until I can purchase said products for myself!

My hat, too, goes off to M7. I'm proud to have a ton of their stuff and have not really seen the need to shop anywhere else (they have THAT MANY things!!!). Every single part has delivered as expected, and you better bet that Peter and Randy have always called me back quickly, even on weekends! Great support, great guys. I can't wait until Peter's promised trip to Florida, so my friends and I can show him a roaring good Florida time!

I'm glad this thread has gotten legs......these guys deserve it.........they are on a roll and continue to be gracious and generous to all ......

an example,.....for those of you not at the Dragon, M7 set up a very nice tent and proceeded to provide feed and drink anyone who would walk up and say hello....a very nice touch....unexpected...unnecessary...unequaled

Thank you guys

I too think that M7 is well deserved of some sort of award, Peter, Randy and the rest of the crew are awesome and no matter what day or time it is you can get in touch with peter. I remember one weekend on a Sunday I was installing my M7 Ultimate grills and had a question so I decided to call to se if I could get an answer, of course I did and he was actually going down the road with some family but still had time to answer my question unlike some of the others that it takes WEEKS to get in touch with and you actually start thinking your going to have to report them missing but once again guys keep up the good work and by the way get my AGS shipped out quick PLEASE! LOL

LOL. I've said it before, but I think it deserves repeating... Peter is a family man and a great dad. Once, I called just to say hi (Which I do about once a week...perhaps that 's too often...Peter's call ) and he picked up while watching his kid's soccer game. He politely answered and we chatted for a couple minutes then he's like, "[my name removed to protect this M7 fan...], can I call you back in a couple of hours...I need to watch my kid's soccer game. " Of course, if you know me, I'm huge on family so I was like, "BY ALL MEANS!" He DID call back later that day, just to shoot the #%@#.

Anyways, that sealed the deal for me. He's a man with good priorities and he's always treated me the best, so I'm proud to take my dollar there. Now, if only said dollar grew on trees! I'd have him on holder and have him do exclusive development on my car so that I could have M7 all to myself!

I too was throughly impressed with M7. The other night I pm'd Randy with some questions and had a response back within minutes. When I got my Ultimate Grill back in August of last year, I had a question on install and called, Peter answered the phone and ALL of my questions.

The customer service is great, so I want to use it more! What do I mean? I mean that AGS, Pullies, DFIC, Springs, and a USS are in my near future!

You guys are doing great, when I read MC2 last night I was also excedingly impressed with your new advertising campaign... Very colorful... modern... and seemed to have a artsy sort of feel to it. It's awesome. I especially enjoyed the DFIC add, that was too cool!
