As far as my warning which I tried to make clear was "friendly" I was just saying to try and not make it a habit.-
What I said has nothing to do with this thread, so much as it does with the forum rules. The site owners (not myself) can be much less forgiving if they think you are trying to pickup business from forum members.-
Make sure to drop by and say hello to me or one of the other board members before offering services at a club meeting, nothing personal just the rules of the road ya know!and I quote The Wolf from Pulp Fiction:
"If i'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you guys wanna get out of this. So pretty please with sugar on top, clean the fu##ing car."

How did that make you feel Vick?
Aaron gained several points in my book today, by stepping up and saying what he did however... Julian seems to be riding this ship til it sinks!
I would think at this point we would realize it is a good time to get out.. .because if he sitcks with GG thru this whole mess I think you can consider any of his good "friendlike" intentons wasted.
any thoughts...

Granted, he did give me his number, Julian asking this really made me question if he would in fact stay loyal to Gabriel. I'm slowly realizing that it's pretty much going to come down to whether he's going to be with me or against me, with no middle ground.

I'm starting to think it was your christmas present to yourself and you just hid it by saying it was for me!
Oh yea, and then you can get her fixed too since she's gotten all cranky with you driving her.

Linking to this thread in the 3rd gen section as we speak. Hopefully, the mods will let it slide.

I just read ur story. I was reading it and i want to know how u could see all this **** happen and not beat the **** out of this guy. I know i would of. Just seeing all of the pics brought a tear to my eye. I would of done something about it a long time ago. If that was my car sitting there getting butt-raped and abused i would be takin him to court right away or forcing him to give me back my 2300. Write back if u want.

MazdaSpeed93- I was naive and stupid. End of story. I didn't think this guy was ******* me over until later on. I didn't kick his *** because it could potentially damage my case against him. Don't worry. He's not going to get away with this. He fucked with the wrong person.
Hope that answered your question.

At this point I hardly think either Vick or myself would even have to think of making physical moves towards this clown, seeing as he has angered so many not only on this forum, but on the local import forum as well....
...and I must saythere are some rather unsavory types over there if you know what I mean
Not to mention, I really don't want to have to resort to violence or threats, unlike GG and the RPP goons.

ok,1st i didnt mean to anything as a put down on retarted/mental challenged people(my g/f's bro is retarted,so i def. didnt mean it like that).
2nd im sure i came off sounding like an ******* in my 1st post.sorry about that guys.it was extrememly early in the morning for me (im in tokyo right now).
i would like to say sorry to the rx-7 club of houston (or whatever its called now).sorry for pushing this guy forward.
im a machinist,not a mechanic.thats what i used gabriel for.he helped me with my car on the last motor(which went POP due to my negligence).this was b4 i was in school and didnt have the competence to close a motor on my own.now that im in school,i think i will close my motor on my own at school.even thought it may mean im gonna stay rx-7less for a few more months.
as for going off and doin my own thing im already making progress in that im currently focusing the majority of my energy into building a 850fwhp 4g63,that will be goin into a friend's shop car(still gotta clear that with him
).

What is the RX7Club called now?
Anyway, I'm glad you cleared that up, Aaron. I know you're a good guy and you should try to disassociate yourself from Gabriel or RPP as much as possilble. Hope you can make it out next Friday.

You can all the club what you want... there pretty much exists a co-RX-7/RX-8 club under the Houston RX-7/8 Club .. the final name has yet to be decided however the name will be inclusive of all Mazda Rotaries.

Thank you for being a man and apologizing. That's REALLY cool of you. We all make mistakes, (trust me there was a time Keith & I advocated for him). I hope now maybe you can understand a little better about why I had so much hate & discontent for Julian (and you to a lesser extent because you didn't say much) during your presentation in August at the meeting.
I (we) had been royally screwed and I FIRMLY believe that GG/RRP and his affiliates have no business around the club. I don't trust them and NEVER will. Vic was one of the people we were referring to when we said we weren't alone in our experience, but we couldn't point him out, because we said 2 yrs ago we'd keep his information to ourselves - just like the others. If and when people come forward good for them. It's good therapy and there is strength in numbers. I mean we've never even met Vic in person, it's erie how similar our stories are.
Have a safe trip home and good luck with your business. I think talented, honest people will go far in houston...we're all just waiting for that person to come along...a few years ago we thought it was GG/RRP...obviously we were dead wrong. Good luck in your business pursuit and hopefully we'll see you around the club sometime (w/o Julian or GG or course
)

Hey Vick,
Break out the grill and have a BBQ. Invite the club and make it a Saturday event. Food, friends, and putting you car back together will all be involved. We used to do this with the KC and St. Louis clubs when I lived up north. Just a suggestion.
