I will let you know how that turns out.

thanks MM for sticking your neck out and trying to help our community! i found it hard to believe that no one else said that. yes it sucks to be out 2 g's but that was a risk you were willing to take. you really shouldnt bitch that much unless youve done everything else to resolve the issue. it doesnt sound like you have. i would have drove to MMs house and asked WTF? ive only met jeff on one occasion, and this thread isnt stopping me from wanting to give him money for an AP if i cant find a used one. keep doing your thing jeff. unfortunatly nice guys usually dont win!

i will contribute $5 toward getting this issue resolved if others will.
MM's work on this car has benefited a lot of us--you have to admit that. If he is being truthful--which he may be--IDK--then hell all of us have had tough times before.
Hate to see a good guy hurt (OP) and its not right, but it is what it is. MM maybe able to send what he has (like Brettus suggested) and the rest.....well.

I take it you didn't see mention that payment occurred in late 2008 or early 2009?

There was also a VERY entertaining thread over the last year with lots of needling. Did you catch that?

Eta.
Look, I am not suggesting anyone bash jeff (at least not if one does not have a personal reason to do so,) nor completely avoid business with him. I am simply providing information. If asked directly, I would have to council caution.

OD that is a kind offer, but my offers in kind were rebuffed; I doubt a passed hat would be better received.

not that it matters, but the way i see it youre at least 51% at fault. what do you really expect to happen by having 6 pages of bitching ? go get your money and/or your parts. deal with the issue, or you could wait for another 2 years....add in inflation...try and get that too

I am not going to disagree with the content of your message, but way it is delivered. You come across as an uninformed fool. I am not criticizing, only informing. Do with it what you will.

Not trying to speak for carbon here but I read the older thread and he did ask several times if he could just have the parts the way they sit and I'm not sure if he got a flat out no or not but I know that it didn't happen for various reasons. If it were as simple as that then it would have been done already.

hmm... you're asking , 'can't we all get along?' when you're the one self admittedly being confrontational?

then again, i guess we haven't seen any nuggets of wisdom in anything else you've said in this thread either...
