Default RennTT Motorsports going Full Time

I was given the opportunity to spend more time on my RennTT business. The company that both my wife and I worked at closed their doors today. So I guess the good news is that I will have more time to devote to a business I love....

I have also expanded my business and now distribute: JIC Cross, Bilstein, The Racers Group products, Fabspeed, Recaro, Sparco, Pagid Brake Pads, Gert Front Protection Bars, and Brembo as well as all Porsche Parts including all maintenance items such as brake rotors, pads, distributor caps, etc..... For all of you Bay Area folks, I will also have more time to service you fine cars...

Watch for more specials soon.

Thanks for you support

Bob,

So Peoplecapital ran out of capital and screwed its people.... Sorry, I couldn't resist. Well, maybe a good omen of things to come. Maybe you'll be the next Bruce Canepa. Hope everything works out well. I'll always be one of your supporters/customers.

Good for you. Congratulations. I hope this didn't mess up your time-table too much. All us Rennlister will benefit from this. Thanks.

Best of luck to you! That is why I started my business. Jobs come and go but doing something you love is priceless!

Let me add for anyone in the continental USA; if Bob continues to have the BBQ lunches, its worth it to drive clear across country to get an oil change. Of course, by the time you got back to the East, it would be time for another change!

Sorry to hear about you and your wife's job loss. Hope all is well. I also hope the Porsche business you have started prospers and is successful!

Congrats and good luck Bob!

You're in one of my dream jobs now (right there with rock star, F1 or LeMans driver, Pimp etc.)!

Bob:

Not sure if this was unexpected or potentially stressful, but all the best to you. MY wife has just started her own design/creative business, so some similar things going on here. Enjoy the chance to start over again!

And I second or third the wish that you were on this coast.

Thanks everyone. It was not the time I was choosing to start this full time, especially with my wife also not working. We will see how this all plays out. In the mean time, I already have a PSS9 install scheduled on a 2004 996TT cab next week. I can get a lot more done now during the week instead of nights and just weekends...
