I beg to differ?
Yes, good point, Dave. The Big 3 have been around so long they have become institutionalized (no pun intended) and deserve proper reverence for all their longstanding and huge contributions. Recently you and Carl have established yourselves as very competent, innovative contributors to the 928 community, enough to rightfully challenge the zeitgeist, as you did in your reply to my post. But, not to start a fight, the Big 3 are still far bigger and more established. You and Carl are doing some great things and clearly deserve support and business. I have bought some of Carl's clever innovations, which he continues to announce almost daily. I need to become more familiar with your services as well. Keep poking us when we focus so much attention and adoration on the Big 3, but understand why this is the case.

We should be institutionalized, does that qualify us? (Sorry, wrong institution!)

Certainly not attempting to start a fight, we use and resell items created by the "Big Three" and do give credit where it's due. I told one of our customers just tonight that Carl's shock hardware is the cat's meow. Devek's shifters are on our wall and Specialist's springs are on our Bilstein's. I don't feel right about announcing our products here without being a sponsor. I am still attempting to mend the rift between John D. and Garrity that occured when Garrity was a moderator for the 944 board. So far it's like herding cats........ We will survive and even thrive without Rennlist sponsorship but I do feel it's adventageous to both them and us.

I just took offence to your generalization that they were the only ones to provide proper support, technical help and service. They do deserve all the accolades given them and frequently by me, just don't discount us in the process. As far as bigger you might be suprised. Do they have a paint booth or machine shop? They are more established due to "time in service", we will get there.

Hey Curtis, wasn't e-bay sniping off topic from the origional post? Were we not still discussing the "Big Three"? I think we were closer to being "on topic" than e-bay sniping.

Now Dave , I believe I was on topic. We already know the value DEVEK has been and continues to be, so I chose to only address the first part of Curt’s story which was EBay Snipping. However, I have amended my previous post to include my view on both of Curt’s thoughts that he was kind enough to share with us.
