I'll bring my Irish green 6. I want to see what the inside of URO looks like.

My nephew is attending. Says a Singer 911 is there and a very cool, custom Honda 600.

Some nice cars.

As for the warehouse and testing room, I was quite impressed. They are scientifically testing every product they sell.

For example, a window regulator test, with a computer triggering up....then down...then up...then down. The machine was on test number 27,531 cycles while I was in the room, and it was climbing.

They 3d scan an OEM oil pan and then compare the products they manufacture to the dimensions of the ones they produce overseas. For example, the OEM is plastic, they are making it out of aluminum, as it should have been, cheaper than the OEM plastic replacement.

I asked about warranty and failures. They track failures, and have their dealers have you send in your part to study why it failed, and then they kick it back overseas to the makers to improve them. They admitted, they are not as big as "Dorman" or an "OEM" manufacturer.

Overall, I think it is great to have them making parts that they test and will stand behind. Everyone has a place in the market.

The Singer was artwork.... 2 914's were there to represent.
