Smile mobonic FTW

I list a group buy recently for some 2009 Patron series Yokohama slicks. In order to get the killer deal of $1200 per set I need to order 5 sets at least. Well, I only needed 3 sets so I listed a group buy. That same day Shahin aka mobonic send me a PM and said he will help me handle the group buy. For those of you that never host a group buy ... it can be a major PITA. You had to arrange payment, shipping and communications from various buyer and if for some reason things don't turn out well then your rear end is on the line.

Shahin step up to the task and we ended up ordering 22 sets of Yokohama slicks from people all over the country. Shahin single handily took care of payment and arrange drop ship and pick up. I will never forget what shahin said when I found out some people have not pay yet "No worry, I will float my friends ... will help when I can ...". What he did was way beyond call of duty and he was super prompt with all e-mail and phone call.

So, Shahin, thanks again for all your effort in this great group buy and god speed with your track adventures this year!

Cheers

Mike

Here is my Yoko donuts



Tires ... any one? lol

Fully endorse all the positive karma flowing Mobonic's way. Not only did he do all the coordination and heavy lifting, but he even suggested that I have him hold my tires until the weather warmed up in order to avoid damaging them in shipping. Something I wouldn't have thought of left to my own devices.

Mucho gracias amigo!

Mooty, you didn't tell me you bought a bunch of Yokos too!

My Hohos look good in your garage. Maybe you could adopt me?

I really hate all of you guys with huge garages and frickin' sets and sets of wheels and tires just laying around...

Do you know where I keep my track wheels in my apartment? In the closet! And I don't even have any space for spare tires
