Al, if you read this, I wish you much Good luck......I really mean it. Your quick wit is hard to match. Your joking sprit and fun loving personallity was entertaining. And at the time was quite fun. I think that we both enjoyed our relationship. Until I picked up my car that is.
Thats when things changed.

......I had enough fun for a while.

Peace!
You will be in my prayers.

I had heard rumblings that AL was looking to leave MMS..He must have seen the writing on the wall. So this doesn't come as a surprise .

I'm out of the loop lately but I'll try to get ahold of someone and see what happened. Al was a fun guy to buy parts from. :)

OK guys I got a little info for you. Mike didn’t want to get in to all the details but he said that Al has moved on and that he was going to be handling a lot more of the customer correspondence himself. Between that and all the E-tune work I'm sure he'll be able to keep himself very busy... :)

While I had him on the phone I went over some of the details of what I want to do with my new FRC (heads, cam, blower, etc). Looks like I’ll be doing a 218/228 115ls cam, stage 2 heads (9.8:1 CR), and their D1 blower kit (around 8psi). The great thing about working with Mike directly is he _really_ knows what's going on regarding technical stuff!

You sure wouldn't convince me that Mike knows very much about anything after reading about Bruce's disaster or looking at a few of the other fine pieces that came out of Morgan's.

I visited MMS "ONCE" talked to Al and wanted to talk to Mike but he wouldn't come out of his office. Guess he was to busy to talk to a future customer. He was prolly to busy with something more important.

I left and never looked back. :rolleyes:
