The guy that posted had two links, one is bad and the other has conflicting info. I know a couple of guys that built Spec Boxsters using him as a supplier and they had a little problem but I think he came through for them in the end. Maybe they or others here will chime in either way.

Brad is very knowledgeable about Boxsters. As the story went with me, he basically pissed me off, taking money and disappearing as those links suggest, but then he made right in the end. Actually, he went above and beyond to make right. If he could straighten out how he manages communications with clients he'd have a very (more?) successful business.

My experience with Brad is very similar. I found him to be very helpful and knowledgeable when you can get ahold of him. I don't think he is at all a scammer but I think he has way to much on his plate as such his customer service is what one would call Bad.

Yes, he went way above and beyond for me too. I am definitely a Brad fan now. He can be hard to get in contact with, as he runs an extremely busy schedule.

He did the same thing in the 914 world. This is SOP for him.

Has gone and continues to go above an beyond for me.

Now, about the title of this thread and the OP. Change the title or provide some data, the links are dead.

Would you like a thread called V-Tach scammers?

brad is a good "person" but poor "businessman".
business is NOT a hobby.
anyone who thinks otherwise either has no hobby or doesn't understand business.

I spoke with Brad yesterday to catch up on my project and got a little insight into this.

This had to do with a pair of offshore racing engines that he was selling on ebay for his business partner. Someone has been repeatedly trying to buy these from them who is scamming them. Funny how the tables get turned around.

Anyhow. Brad is truly generous with his time and supportive of us racers. Sure he is not the best businessman but nonetheless a great person who does try to make things right and doesn't screw people over.
