Talking Guess who's number Summit personal is giving out for Pontiac parts?

Had a customer stop in to buy a stock valley pan. Mine was a little more, but cleaned up and painted. Plus he said that shipping from the other coast would come out the same.

This customer had called Summit looking for one and a representative from Summit gave out a West Coast Pontiac persons PHONE NUMBER.
When he called, the dude just answered the phone........ Hello.
But after the valley pan question gave him his website & informed this person that he had the best website with info out there.

Interesting.

Take a guess.

Maybe the "F" man got a job at Summit to try and promote his business.

I don't know if I would be bragging much about that kind of a "compliment" based on who the guy on the west coast might have been.

Ken, I understand what you are saying. My commentary was really aimed at the whole "crowd with torches" that seems to come out anytime this guys name comes up.

I wonder how many members of this forum actually have had bad business dealings with Bruce, or any other vendor for that matter. It seems that there are maybe a handful, with the rest tagging along with the torches looking for the Frankenstein monster. The whole thing is just getting old.

I see a similiar pattern with certain members whenever Kauffman's name is mentioned.

It is just too easy to get caught up in the moment with the speed and proliferation of the internet.

I just like to think of our Pontiac community as being a bit more educated and classy than the Chevy drones.

I think you made 1 race last year didn't you. or are you still in pieces

I made more, just 4 at Edgewater, but this year they have a foot brake only. Got tired of button racing. I guess thats because your Thorn hillbilly track closed.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
