Ya know, I have been so loyal to 928GT. But Roger Tyson is also just one hell of a nice guy..... Just got his fuel line kit. Nothing against 928intl either, they are just on the wrong coAst for me....

I've always thought their prices reasonable.

Fortunately, we have choices these days. I buy from both. They are both fabulous suppliers, but don't forget that you need both as there are things one can get that the other one can't. Thats why I use both..AND, let's not forget 928 Specialists who are great..as well as 928 Motorsports and a couple of other suppliers. Best to applaud them all!

And how. I like the competition, not because it lowers prices, but because it inspires innovation.

Roger carved out his niche with things like the fuel line kits, the A/C diaphragms. I have bought those, brakes, an X-pipe and other pieces from him.

From 928 Intl, I love the inventory of used parts and that they usually have what I need on the shelf. Plus, whenever I call, there is someone who answers the phone that can walk me through a problem without laughing (at least not until they hang up).

And from Carl, I have gotten my improved shifter ballcup and will probably upgrade to his electric fans at some point. He innovates on a more technical level than Roger.

I've also bought from 928 Specialists and had good service and advice.

There's room for all of them, and I'm glad they are all in the business, and play well together. The sum incrementally improves our cars.

Work harder and make more money then you will not care.

I have a torque tube core and a set of eibachs to return, and have not gotten around to it yet, and that is about $600 bucks or pocket change.

A Freudian slip, or did you really mean 'coast'?

International (Mark/Jim), Specialists (Dave/Jeannie), and 928s-R-US(Roger) are great people I have dealt with and recommend openly. There are others also that I have not done much business with that have good reputations ... Carl Fossett of Motorsport and Dave and Garrity of Motorsport Utah.

I am just honered to be even considered in the same arena as Mark & Jim & Dave & Jeannie.
Both great companies and friends.

+1 for Roger
I just received my front spoiler from him and was delighted at how quickly I got it; even a West Coast drop ship! A true gentleman!
Thanks Roger!

Then there is Mother Nature...."Are sharks cannibals?

Mother grey nurse sharks do not feed their babies in utero because there is no umbilical cord connecting the two, says Otway.

So, to survive, the growing babies eat their younger siblings until there's only one pup left in each of the mother's two uteri.

"It's inter-uterine cannibalism," Otway says..... " Sometimes it pays to be bigger and first
