I hope you guys had some type of Limited Partnership or contractual agreement drawn up, with provisions for this kind of situation. This could get messy. I hope it all works out for you.

Hey guys,

This is between Travis and Danno. Lets leave it there, and not speculate as to the why's and wherefores, nor get into posting insults about Danno's girlfriend, or anyone else.

Please. We have better things to talk about anyway. Like our cars, for example...

Regards,

Sorry to say that but I don't think it's only between Travis and Danno. The question many have raised over the last months is: "Is Danno a jerk?"

One thing is for sure, he is not answering emails, there are outstanding orders (where he got the money for) and he has promised at least two people to finish their cars which he hasn't done (in Travis case with pretty bad results).

I am wondering why people are still trying to protect him, in this case sh944 ("This is between Travis and Danno").

I would like to issue a warning, especially for those who don't know which Dan Travis is refering to:

Dan is Danno,

www.gururacing.net

Don't send him any money, most likely you won't see it again.

I'm not protecting anyone. I just don't want this list to degenrate into a place where its acceptable to castigate people for their choice of girlfriend, or baseless name-calling. I make no claims for or against Danno, he can stand on his own merits. Its one thing to call someone out for non-performance or broken promises, it's another to "yoko" someone, and that has no place on this forum, in my opinion.

I have sent money to Danno in july, about $1200 for the Link 1 P&P box and I havn´t seen anything yet. He has answered som E-mails and in the last two he promised to ship my box. But nothing yet, and now it´s 4 weeks since the last mail. He has not answered after that one. Of course you think he is a nice guy and trust him when you read all the good things about him at the forums.
I give it a couple of weeks then I have a friend in CA who is an attorney and promised me to look at this.
If you can´t deliver, why don´t just say so and then you can choose to buy of another vendor.

Someone know anything of Danno, whats happening, where he is...

sh944,

Chill. Take a look at other posts on this board. There are plenty of them about other vendors, including SFR and Huntley. And they go down to that painter who kept on raising the price and the owner had to go to court, only to lose. This board is appropriate when, as superjet noted, a bonifide effort to resolve offline was made.

As to my Yoko comment, is it speculation? Of course. However, without a word from Dan, it's not that unreasonable to speculate considering all of a sudden, he was absent from this board and he has a new girl. Most of us know how much time relationships can consume. I'm happy for him in that respects and IF he found love like Lennon did, more power to him.

I just hope everything works out and like SFR and Huntley, GuruRacing will overcome current issues and become stronger.

This just keeps getting worse, add me to the list of people that Danno owes money to. I know some of you have seen my posts "Danno you have mail"

14 months ago I sent Danno $1150, preordering a Link 1 EFI, I've been trying for the last couple of months to have my money returned as I no longer want to wait and have been told twice that the money was going out this week.

I've been a big Danno supporter on Rennlist and never thought something like this would happen.

Danno, step up to the plate make things right for all of us and let's move on.

Not one person in the forum should take anything personally? It’s a forum. If you post something about my girlfriend or mother for that matter I could care less. I probably would enjoy it!

The fact of the matter is that this forum is for sharing info. And the value of this thread is in the fact that there are problems with a vendor, not who is dating who? and speculation on why. That’s all assumptions and the only thing that matters here is the facts. The fact is there are several people unhappy with a very well spoken for vendor.
I was told by almost every member I contacted when I started modding my 951 that Guru chips and products for that matter were the way to go. At the time they were. Things change. There are other companies people can use. And I wish the best of luck to everyone who has outstanding orders. I personally feel like Danno (Dan) will take care of the outstanding items, but can make no promises for him. Those of you that have had problems have done the right thing by posting and letting everyone else know your situation. I would hope this all gets straight before any courts get involved.
Communication is key in any situation like this and Dan if you are reading this you need to contact these people and even if you can not deliver now at least keep in touch with them and work things out. I doubt anyone is going to take you to court if you are actively trying to work with them. Going to court is not cheap for either party and in the end will result in loss to anyone involved. Those of you with cars that will not run or problem post what’s wrong and what you need. Many of us have parts we can get to you if you are stuck until things get worked out.
For the time being use a proven vendor? And not one person has the right to say what you can or can not post. If you take offense to someone’s post you have your own set of problems.
I actually am glad Danno is not responding in these threads to these issues, but I hope he is or will respond personally to these people.

Sorrry fellas, i agree with sh944, this is a matter that should be resolved behind closed doors. People tend speculate about situations without knowing the whole story. If it is a problem with a business deal, then it needs to be solved in a business matter, not by bitching on an internet forum. When i was waiting for a part from Danno, and it didn't get shipped and didn't get shipped, i solved it in a business matter and didn't come on this board and start whining like a 14 year old girl. I understand everyone's frustration who is waiting on parts, but please take other means to solve your issues like these. I in no way am trying to bash any of you guys, i respect everyone on this board, i just call them as i see them.

Gentlemen this is a story where someone has crossed the line from being irresponsible to being a crook.. There is no excuse for such a behavior both Travis and David have been more than patient, I am with both you. I would recommend to find legal avenues and proceed as soon as possible.
It is obvious that Travis, David and Corleone are the victims in this case and they have the right to express their sentiments and warn other people from making the mistake of purchasing from guru racing. I personally appreciate their boldness.
Let's try no to be hipocritical put yourself in Travis and David shoes, if you email someone constantly, leave phone messages and there is no respond and your car is sitting at the impound yard what would you do?


Regards,

Luis

I have been trying the direct with Danno method and it is not working !

14 months is long enough to wait IMHO !

I'm glad your issue was solved, mine is not !

Potiential customers on this board should be warned, if you buy from Guru might I suggest COD
