Default Buyer beware V12's

We have been trying to contact V12's about there products and apart from there being no way of getting in touch with them apart from email they seem a very strange organisation.
They just informed me that they have totally run out of products and have no more for sale.
Very strange as they are still selling on there web site and on eBay.
Buyer Beware.

Fans and Radiators for the 928.
Looks like they are made in India maybe.
Did a good job with the Jaguar V12 stuff.

Len,
Is it true that you do not keep coolant in the radiator as being down under it is always falling out 8>)
Best,
Roger

No silly.
But I hear their engines run the other way due to the Coriolis Effect.

It's true, the engines DO run the other way downunder, but that's OK because the transmissions do too - otherwise we would have multiple reverse gears and one forward.

Roger,

it's all good .. remember because we drive on the other side of the road (some would say the correct side) ... it's all fixed!

It's also much easier drinking beer down here too! Just tilt the glass and it just pours in, hardly touches the sides mostly!

'oroo!

PS: As a moderator of a list of 800+ 928 enthusiasts for the last ten years, please allow me this one observation; This forum will get on so much better if everyone takes a deep breath and posts messages relevant to the 928 only! Anything else needs to be taken OFF-FORUM! That's it. Thanks.
