Ha, ha!


Come to Spain guys!

Rober is from Bilbao in the northern of Spain.

Here they have the awesome Guggenheim Musseum by Frank O. Gehry






Bilbao is very nice, and It's one of the most important places at gastronomy.



























So with these exciting things to visit, you'll have an unforgettable travel.

Thanks friends!

Spain is a small country compared to USA, but we have a lot of interesting and diverse things to see. Near to Bilbao there is a beautiful winery, an impressive hotel inside the famous winery 'Marques de Riscal' in the small village called "El Ciego":

It's another work of art from Frank O. Gehry, with the same style, but in a paradise vineyard with spa and bathing resort:

Let me know if you will be in the area!

Joaquin- sorry we can't hook-up. My wife is very upset since I mentioned to her that you are a Jeweler.

Charles, I told him to come back here and clearing the rest of the questions.
But as you know this is a forum and not everybody is so active and have enough time to come in inmediately.
For what I know, and for several phone conversations, he's a very busy guy.
I think he wouldn' t have any problem to explain some more things, but It seems to be like a Justice Court. I showed the piece, he explained the working task, and more other things, and I don't know where you want to go, if after explanation, are asking lots of questions...

If I were him I'll give only the just explanations, because as you know, nobody who developed an innovative piece, must give too much details. If someone would ask me the complete details, I'll give him all the info, but only if he swaps me Coca-Cola's formula in a information change.
In Spain we have a popular phrase which say "those who wants to know more than the just thing, go to school to learn".
Are you going to tell us the whole secrets of your products?
The piece works, told me that were mounted in 2 Boxster (normal and S) with different gearbox last week, in a 996 Carrera manual...

Everybody knows that if someone do not answer all the questions made, we'll always see the same argument = "that guy didn't want to response because he hasn't the faintest idea what to say", or perhaps, "we put pressure on him and we got it... he is a fibber..."

I particularly think that It is Rober's business, and though here was an interesting thread, he's the owner of the knowlegde and the owner of the limits to be showed.

Thanks Charles


Joaquin

Yep. Been there. We had to answer the questions and deal with the fallout from the development of a solution and we still do.. Day after day, either he needs to learn how to deal with that now or just give up while he is ahead!

And others will learn there will be competitive designs entering the market, whether they want to verbally joust with previous suppliers or not.

This discussion has been kept friendly and open with the sharing of information, and as such, the moderators have not locked the thread.

There is nothing wrong with competition. Without these driving forces there wouldnt be a catalyst to spur on continued innovation.

All things aside, all we are asking that if someone is going to advertise bold claims that they back up those claims. Not just make a hit and run on the forum and expect everyone to accept it as gospel.

If you choose to come on these forums, you have to be willing to put on your flame suit on from time to time.

I agree totally, and I'm sure you would agree it should apply as well to advertising that implies our M96-powered cars are all eventually going "TICK TICK BOOM".
