I think that most of the members here would feel a lot the same way if we sent our hard earned dollars overseas and then had to deal with their shipping department sending our package to the other USA (Union of South Africa). There has been a reasonable explanation for the shipping error and an offer to correct the problem....CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???

I do too, but sometimes we just have to sacrifice for the common good.


I guess we could just boycott the Vienna boys choir instead if that would be easier.

Thanks on the avatar. It does take all kinds I agree.

I could not beleive it but when I drove my 96 GS over to the Carlisle 10 year reunion that 6 speed got 30 mpg on the button. But the old 427 is not so kind. Still fun though.

I agree on the fun part. Nice hijack of this negative thread too!

Gonna take my 1960 on my local car club's first of the season cruise/poker run tomorrow. Should be fun but forget the mileage with both those 4 barrels sucking the $3.60 per gallon premium.

@ JohnfromVentura : Nice little movie , Your daughter??
Wilwood should be able to ship the hubs to me Monday 5/21 I should receive them by 5/24-25. As per my email to you I have the rest in stock. As we normally keep spare parts.

Our UPS program "automatically" sends out a tracking number at the close of the day so look for it next week.
