Whats up? I thought they were all done when Dave passed away.
The banner ad isn't an active link but has a phone #.
Anyone have the details?

I can't say much other than another lister here (henceforth referred to as "The Boss") bought the assets to GPR & will have to fill you in on the details. The doors are open, we're taking orders (I'm just the peon, The Boss really does the order taking for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). The website is being revamped (and anyone who has ever had to do that knows what a pain it is) so it's not up except for emails, but the 800 number works during the day (working on glitches in the AT &T system so it works all the time) as does the normal 805 549-8525 number. You can also contact me, and when The Boss surfaces, I'm sure he'll take an order or 2 by PM or email.

A nice tribute to Dave will be going up on the website when we get it back up, so if you have any pics you'd like to share, you can send them to us to add.

Mark, I don't get why you're being so coy. (I got this all from online info, so don't feel bad about posting it)

New owner appears to be Jonathan Reiss, who goes by the nick Hwgunner here.

Your email address doesn't work, but I figure I'll hear about when it actually opens from you or Steve.

Its me. I did it.



I bought the assets of the business from Dave's estate. We are in the same location for the next six months and have also acquired the same phone numbers so that all those old ads and magnets will work. Escrow closed on Friday afternoon to make it official but the phones have been up for about a week. Markb is right about the glitch with the phones, right now they are transferring to a voicemail system that I do not have access to unfortunately. As for being coy, I think that markb just wanted me to say it. You certainly wouldn't look at him and think he was being "coy".

As for the business, I have been very fortunate that the majority of the vendors that I have contacted have been good to work with and I am going to continue to sell the same items that Dave did.

Tons of things to work on right now: website, phones, tons of new parts, manufacturing, computers, etc., etc.

It will definitely be a long row to how.

I want to say that there are a couple people who already knew about this and I want to thank them for there support and kind words.

I lookforward to the hard work ahead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Johnathan, it warms my cold heart to see that pile of doors that have been sitting there for so long, I think since Donald organized them.
I'm glad that GPR live and breathes again!

Same here. I am glad to see GPR back, and Jonathan is a good person to do it. I have ordered parts from him, and I am very satisfied with his service.

I will be calling soon, and get some more parts!

Couldn't be a better guy to have stepped up to keep the GPR name going strong. I have done many transactions with Jonathan and they have all been A+. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
