funny to read the old posts though, thanks.

I actually had contact with them re one of their bodykits which I quite liked and it is cheap. Still like it and may yet try it.

Years ago I met Albert at the 24 hours of daytona and guess what- he was running a 951- Nice guy.... Ahhh yesteryear

Was that the 951 that spewed coolant in the first hour and they spent the next 8 replacing the headgasket? Probably a bit too much boost to make qualifying (as I recall they started in next to last place).

The fact that they got a 951 to Daytona and a 24hr event is a big plus by itself. They must have earned their place. You can't just drive there on the day and jump on the grid. Probably have some interesting stories.

The car he had was very impressive. I do remember it being in the garage a bit.. Still I was impressed that they qualified, considering this was pre-daytona prptotype days. The Sports racers were very, very quick..... He used to post here if I remember right when Rennlist first started, when was that in mid 90s..?

Cheers, Mike

Albert and Kelly are brutally difficult to get on the phone. By and large, he does only full engine projects, and doesn't waste ANY time talking to folks about...well...anything. If he knows you are a serious player, which takes some serious effort, he'll buiuld you what you want, and he'll do it well. You will talk to Kelly, usually via email. She isn't there everyday, I don't think.
That's how it works.
I think one would find that it didn't work much different with Milledge. If you were a player, he'd make time. If not, don't even waste the effort.
Frankly, I'm shocked that Chris White is able to make the effort, that he does, to follow up with customer inquiries. These are busy guys, and they don't employ customer service reps.

I dealt with Kelly on some body work enquiries about a year ago and she was actually very prompt in replying a few times. I think they've since moved premises recently which may account for some tardiness?

They moved a few years ago. This is just the way they do business. It's really that simple. They have a lot of irons in the fire.

^^^Yep. They've always been crappy parts suppliers. They are only good at one thing. It's sad that they can't do something as simple as sell parts. It really screws up their rep for anything else.
