Ya know, I was thinking of creating and marketing a new product....I was thinking of a fabric type of toneau cover for the passenger compartment....maybe held in place by bungees to the wheel wells....that covers everything from the base of the front windshield to the back of the engine cover.
Trying to think of a good name....maybe something about an umbrella.... *runs before Perry beats me to a pulp* Seriously though, I had NO IDEA that anyone other than Craig made the trunk shocks. Has he ever posted his products in the vendor's area? I see here that Ed says he no longer supplies them. That means Craig can go for it right? Maybe I missed some other developments...I dunno. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) And by the way Perry, your umbrella cover is on my list of things to buy. Do you do different colors? |

Glad this incredible ripoff artist was outed by you. The world is a safer place now.
...question ...are trunk struts really anything special that a member can truly say they designed? Doesn't look like anything specific to the 914 was designed other than install notes. Looks pretty much like off the shelf parts for general application were used. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

So it's OK with you if someone else calls themselves Team Pirate Racing and uses your logo? Is it OK if someone copies your website and calls it their own?

QUOTE(dr914@autoatlanta.com @ Oct 1 2007, 10:42 AM)  this all goes back to my point. With the limited number of 914s out there and the dire need for aftermarket parts as every day the factory discontinues them, why make something that someone else is already making? If anyone out there wants to make something, more power to them, but make something that someone else is not making already. The problem will then be solved! We are all a community here and supplying parts for the 914 goes way beyond competition. (one can only divide the pie so much!) Plagiarist! That was not your point, it was my point! But if I'm able to make you think that my thoughts are yours, I'll concentrate on this one- Send Steve Willie the 916 Send Steve Willie the 916 Send Steve Willie the 916 He deserves it.

QUOTE QUOTE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Why 39 deadhorses? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Because I started removing them after the board said that I had too many of them to post. Oh.... and this is for everyone. The point I was trying to make is that the two parties resolved the issue. Why are we (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) ???????? (Or a horse that is "pining for the fjords?) Can't help but say that threads like this are shockers sometimes but the area involved is just 914 people, all who are friends over the course of anything said. Most times you can't get things straightened out by being mute and silent. 2900 views or more found the thread of value. Let it go full course. Everyone knowns the question asked has merit to know how it was answered by the group. Camp914 is a highly thought of business by everyone I suspect. I know I respect there venue of why Camp914 is in operation. Ed V. His quest was to remedy and it happened. PK is not a trouble maker for bringing this to bear. The middle people, all of us that commented, wanted something good to happen from this and it did. Beating the path sometimes gives firm ground in esteem and moral integrity. Cooley |

QUOTE(Blood red 914-6gt @ Oct 1 2007, 03:07 PM) Hey Mike I would say just be patient, and keep bothering the guy until you get what is owed. Many of us here are good people that will give stuff away, some will sell it for little, and some are a$$es. It's just dealing with people. Just because they own a 914 doesn't make them a great person. However, I would hope that this guy will make right. The majority of the people on here are good to deal with, but as they say "one bad apple spoils the bunch." Good luck. Well said! Everyone....everyone I have dealt with has been "stand up". I've had a single dispute that was rectified instantly, to the benefit of both parties. I, personally, am very proud to not know (because we haven't met) most of the members of this non-club. Well, that doesn't exactly come off right but I hope you know what I mean. I don't think one bad apple spoils the bunch, just a small corner of the bushel we can all move away from. |

as craig POSTED, the matter is RESOLVED. no blood, no foul. good thing craig has made MEGA bucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) on the strut kits. that has allowed him to provide front money and doorprize/auction items for most of the 914 events. hand bitten...hopefully the pockets don't go shallow.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Yeah I'd encourage that behavior since I'm not a commercial venture of any kind and don't really bring any value to the market place. The more pirates the better! Similar to someone who sources general application trunk struts and sells them as 914 trunk struts. I don't see much stealing going on here. Just people offering community a source of commodity products. About the only thing I see here is a bit of laziness in reusing instructions developed by someone else. But come on! trunk struts a proprietary item? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
