SoCal Brake-Fest, Who is hosting?
Since quite a few of us SoCal members have ordered the C32 brake upgrade, I thought we might have a Brake-Fest so we can all get together to do the installs. Those with the know-how can help those that don't. We could also do the BBQ thing after the installs.
So who would like to host? (You must have plenty of space & a good BBQ grill.)
Who would like to attend?

There is a thing called insureance! It specifically disallows this as I am sure you know.
However, we might be able to do the installs on a saturday or something and do them all the same day.
Thanks

you guys sure no how to take the fun out of planning a GTG 
Doing front brakes isn't that complicated and doesn't require much in the way of tools. This was just a nice way to get the kits installed and have a GTG at the same time.

Did I miss something??? BRAD - You won't even let your customers have a BBQ day at your "SHOP" and conduct a TECH SESSION (to teach and demo), not necessarily and let them do their install??? I would if I were in your shoes, anytime!
Hmmm....

No that is not what I said, but you know that. You are simply using this thread to try to hurt our repuatation and put words in our/my mouth like you always do.
Randall, do you really want to keep this going? We can go to full disclosure and talk about everything if you want!
EVERYONE ELSE:
What was said specifically was that we cannot allow customers to do an installation. But if we do them all on one day, like a saturday, then we could do the meet and BBQ. I am sorry if that was not clear!
Thanks
Brad

huh? I do not know where you're coming from Brad.
Some people bought it from us, some from you, and some from other dealers.
I believe my message / recommendation was clear and neutral - for the customers to ask for product support from their respective sources.
I give up!

Randall, you can try to make yourself look "innocent" to some newbies, but many (including us) don't forget the past and your continual posts with the same underlying theme are getting old! Most people here are intellectual enough to see the subtext in your message.

This is all old news Randall. Give everyone a break - please!
I will not post in reply to you again. These threads always turn into this, where you make a quip, then stand back and play innocent.
This is not the randall and brad board.
I thought you said you were done?
Thanks
Brad
