Default Major Shout Out to 944 online

So I ordered a refurbished short-block from Ian.
Worked the deal, and said it would be here in 10 days or so. No problemo.
On Friday the block was supposed to be picked up and delivered to the shop where my car is awaiting major transplant surgery.
On Monday, the block hadn't left (unbeknownst to me)...so Ian DROVE the block up to Tampa from South Florida to ensure it was there near when it was promised.
I am floored. Thanks to Ian. I have been working with him since I got my 944 13 years ago, and will continue to do so.

Ian really knows his stuff. And seldom gets enough credit.

Ian is a great man! Not only does he know his business, we have talked several times about our other mutual passion (guitars), and that merely scratches the surface of his knowledge.

Nice to hear. I've looked on the site. -Good to hear that it's worth a flutter.
