Hi all- I have been trying to reach Tweet, (Dan) to check on the progress of my locks and the last time I heard from him was July 30th. Radio silent since then. Anyone know how to reach him? I sent him emails ad PM's. I hope he is OK.
Thanks,
Michael

I heard from him a week ago. I'm sure he'll get back to you.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 1 2015, 07:23 AM

Great- thanks Mark.

Posted by: JmuRiz Sep 1 2015, 09:15 AM

Good to know he's still around...
Cairo, please send an update when you get them back. I was thinking of sending my locks to him as well.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 1 2015, 11:35 AM

Absolutely. I will update my build thread and post pictures. I am looking forward to having 1 key open everything.

Have you tweeted him?

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 3 2015, 06:02 PM

Just PM and email - still no replies. I am getting nervous.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 6 2015, 10:54 AM

So I called Tweet's phone number a couple of days ago and left a message and have not heard back from him or anyone else.
I am officially worried. I hope he is just on vacation or something. The last I heard he was requesting help locating a chrome shop for the chrome work and I provided him the list Scotty provided me with Scotty's #1 recommendation with my endorsement to use that shop. Ever since, not a word.
I have no idea if the lock parts shipped out to be chromed or not. No replies at all to PM, email or phone message. If anyone knows how to reach Dan, please let me know. I hate to think the worst.

Thanks,
Michael

Tweet????? Where are you?

Posted by: mepstein Sep 7 2015, 03:51 PM

What parts does he have

Posted by: type2man Sep 7 2015, 06:50 PM

He sells on ebay so I am sure he is still around.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 7 2015, 07:01 PM

I am sure he is still around; I just hope nothing happened to him. He has all of my locks for my Six - everything, so it could all be restored and work off one new key. I just get a bit nervous as it has been over a month with no word from him.

Posted by: RobW Sep 7 2015, 07:09 PM

That sucks. Hopefully is resolved soon.

Got an address? Maybe its time for a welfare check from cousin Guido...

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 7 2015, 09:06 PM

Hello All:

I have been dealing with Tweet since November of 2014.... we had a couple set backs with chrome shops that apparently went out of business or were closed down by the EPA - not the least surprising given the chemicals they use. A couple months ago Scotty gave me the names of some reliable, good chrome shops and I forwarded those names to Dan.

If someone knows Dan and has a better way to get a hold of him, I am all ears and would appreciate the help. I am a trusting guy when it comes to dealing with club members of standing - so I choose to believe something happened to Dan that is preventing him from responding to my emails, call, and PM's.

Thanks,
Michael

I don't have any /6 locks, but I do have some spare locks. You're welcome to anything I have for free.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 8 2015, 06:14 AM

Hi Rob - I sincerely appreciate the offer, but I am hoping that will not be necessary. I think a lock is a lock, be it a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder car. I am still hoping Dan has my parts and everything is going good and for some reason he has just not replied. But I really appreciate the offer.
Thanks,
Michael

Posted by: mepstein Sep 8 2015, 06:21 AM

The ignition is my only concern. I have everything else to make you whole.

Posted by: The Cabinetmaker Sep 8 2015, 06:26 AM

I don't know him, but I hope he is well and will be back soon.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 8 2015, 12:28 PM

Hi Mark - I really appreciate that.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 8 2015, 02:43 PM

I called Daniel Roman, (Tweet) and left him a voice message at his phone number. I am not sure how big Homestead, Florida is but Dan lives on Portofino Avenue. Anyone close enough to do a knock and talk? I am hoping he is just overwhelmed with work.

Posted by: arkitect Sep 9 2015, 06:30 AM

The only one I know in Florida is George 'ThePaintedMan' who is in St Petersburg, don't know how close that is to him. Maybe another member is closer????

Hello, I'm about 35-40 miles north of him, when are you wanting to do this
knock & talk , next week I'll be going to Octeenerfest , PM me with details
and possible time frame , Bill D.

Posted by: ThePaintedMan Sep 9 2015, 07:24 AM

I'm a lot farther than Bill. But I'm also not sure we should be advocating "popping in for a visit" simply over some parts. If we are concerned about his welfare, that's a different thing. I've been a bit absent here dealing with my dad's passing, and I know I would have been a little bit upset if someone came and knocked on my door over some parts, rather than to just check up on me. If you do stop by, I'd do it just to make sure he's okay.

Posted by: JmuRiz Sep 9 2015, 08:17 AM

I think at this point it's more of a welfare concern.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 9 2015, 01:21 PM

To be clear, (I thought I was) I am concerned about Tweet. I am not advocating anyone go "tune him up". I have been consistent that I am concerned about him. I am still trying to reach him. I just sent him a message to his eBay account.

WLD491 - Thanks for the generous offer. Hopefully Tweet will get my messages and call. I will keep you in mind if I need to search further however. Thanks for the offer.

Tweet was last active on our site August 14, 2015 at 7:44 AM.

Posted by: ThePaintedMan Sep 9 2015, 01:54 PM

Oh, sorry. I guess I missed that. I'm just hoping for good news. Too much sadness around here lately.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 9 2015, 04:40 PM

Amen brother.

Posted by: 914itis Sep 9 2015, 05:49 PM

I had one deal with him that I was pissed about . I know that his wife is also involve in the buy and sell parts . She replied to many of my pm's in the past for him.

If he has an issue of concern and he can't post or receive calls , I think his wife would post it or answer his calls.

I may be bias because of my past experience, but it does not look to good.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 9 2015, 08:01 PM

Terrific...... Come on Tweet (Dan) don't let me down....

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 9 2015, 08:05 PM

I had positive experiences with Daniel. With this type of situation you almost hope he's being a tool. Not to minimize your lock situation.

Where oh where has Tweet gone????

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 14 2015, 10:39 AM

Call off the search Dan is OK. My parts are safe. Life has just been speeding along for them. I wish them the best.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 14 2015, 10:55 AM

Must be a HUGE relief. You saved a nice chunk of change, and time/hassle, not having to resort to the classifieds.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Sep 14 2015, 10:59 AM

I have to believe that it being 9-14 day that the planets aligned and voila! Tweet is OK. And yes, I am greatly relieved. I did not want to have to replace my original locks.

Posted by: simonjb Aug 19 2019, 05:47 PM

Just an update for others.....Disappearing Dan hasn't been seen in 2019. Sent him door locks in December 2018 and he has gone way off the grid. Beware sending him anything. I have a court action with him to get my parts back.

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 19 2019, 07:01 PM

Bruce Stone left me his number, I called and left a message.

No reply. I guess I lose an original key to my car and an extra lock.

What a bum situation.

I changed the title as requested by Jeff. Tweet was off grid for a bit back then but came back and all was good. Give him time if you are having trouble reaching him.
