Anybody know if Jonathon at Blueridge Mercedes is still in business?

I bought a fuel distributor from Jonathon at Blueridge about 5 weeks ago....have yet to receive it....and no response to my emails either.

Anyone know if he is still in business?

Thanks for the suggestions, but a search of that user name didn't find any results, and when I tried to email/post him through the link on his webpage, I keep getting an error message. Last time I spoke to him,...he sounded frustrated....was supposedly in the process of moving his business....said my fuel distributor had been in the box ready to mail for a week or two....but just had not had time to ship it....that was over a month ago....now no response to my emails.

He's about...his board name is jhodg5kc though, not jhodg5ck, just a tiny error no biggie

but, it will explain why a search did not find him

That's not pulling anything up either. .....I am doing a "Search" and inserting his user ID......no results.

I know Johnathan personally. He will deliver. Great guy met him when he was a kid, and have watched him grow up mechanically. Give him a chance to get back to you.

I did catch him by phone yesterday.......He said it had been shipped.....and...it did in fact show up yesterday afternoon. No Apology either on the phone or by email for it taking 6 weeks....that seemed a bit strange....but....my sense is that he is overtaxed right now for some reason.....I was just not a priority apparently.

Hopefully the fuel distributor is a good one and gets my car running and saleable before my homeowner's association has it towed off.
