High tech Hyde Park,
As a new VW'er, I have dealt with John on numerous occasions. He has always given me advice, tips and leads on parts cars, free of charge. What happened with the bug the fellow bought from John is unfortunate.
I guess that's what this great AirSpeed forum website is for, asking around if anyone has seen or heard of a certain VW, or if anyone with some VW knowledge is available to take a look with them. I am lucky to have a friend who is a VW fanatic and helped me buy an old 65 Beetle. It needs alot of work but it's pretty solid. Things that I would never have looked for or read about was pointed out to me. If you're unsure phone some VW parts places, search the internet for help, etc....
As for the personal jabs, total B.S.!!! Everyone of us has something happening in our lives that's not perfect.
Hey, did you hear Jack is on welfare?, Steve is unemployed?.......look in the mirror! You're not perfect!!
I still support John, he has always helped me out when needed.
Jeff
