Message Ash and Z1 has NO bearing or affect on our customers or quality. Bringing everything online just isn't my style. Ash didn't contact Z1, he just posted as usual. No one here knows the real story, they just have a perception based on what they read.

However since it seems to be SUCH a huge deal. I'll just post an e-mail I sent to Ash earlier:

" 1. I never bought any of those domain names of competitiors we were looking at that day or intended to, but thanks for saying that I did.

2. John and I did have a fight, but I never threw a punch. We have known each other for a long time and are still good friends in my opinion. The seperation was to do with growing issues between John and Z1 most of which you are aware of, not a fight. But thanks for trying to make me look bad as usual.

3. Between you and I, I swear on my life that those turbos we sent up to MD were sport 500's. I am still really, really upset about that. I had already chocked that up as our mistake and accepted it until they arrived back and I knew it as soon as I laid eyes on them. I spent the rest of the day dissasembling, taking measurements, pictures, etc. Then you call me a liar! Do you want to make serious enemies?

4. We didn't buy the domain name right after you let it expire. We later bought it later from a sitter for quite a bit of money for the benefit of sending 300zx related traffic to our site, where we were still selling product that you were supplying us. Just as you could have done (he said he already made you an offer for it which you declined). We do have an interest in holding on to it as we have money invested into it. Make us an offer.

5. Your whining online and your misled fan club doesn't bother me anymore. Our quality and organization is up, mistakes down and I'm happy about coming to work. We are turning work away and have a 3 month wait on big jobs to get in the shop. I'm in the midst of developing some exciting new products that we will release soon. We have much more Z32 inventory than any place on on earth.
TT.net population doesn't control our lives contrary to popular belief. I'm doing everything I can to treat customers right and sell quality products and services, just as you are. That's really all I can do, and if some people are misled or have their own opinions then so be it. As you may remember we were both once in the same situation with online opinion, and we are still are more than you may realize. We both work harder than anyone else in the business towards basically the same things. Ultimately we both really just want to be the best at it, and deep down we usually go out of our way to do things right and treat customers fairly. You seem to forget that I do this because I like it also, and that my desire for happy, satisfied customers is the only thing that got me where I am at. It isn't like I started with a lot of money or just got lucky. Just remember although your online approval is high at the moment doesn't mean that it will be down the road. As you well know, it is not always directly related to your intentions or abilities. Its just goofy politics, that I am finally at the point of not having to care that much about.
So whine and cry about us all you want to, and beleive deep down that you are really hurting me. Other than that I am done battling with you, and I or Z1 has not made any confrontational action, or statement about you online without your provocation in a very long time. And I'm sure you will continue to provoke us, but I'm done with wasting my time foolishly fighting back with you, especially online where truth is just a perception. "

Finished
No more wasting my time on it.
