Welcome European Road and Racing as Regional Sponsor

welcome, and thanks for the sponsorship!

 

Congrats Karl. Looking forward to meeting you and yours, one day.

 

Just saying thank you. Ferrarichat and its members have been a big part of our growth and success. After 22 years in business with many ups and downs we are doing better than ever.
Thanks to all for the love and support.

I feel the same way Ted. Thank you.

 

You the Stig..I mean Man!

 

No David, you are.
Thank you for always looking out for everyone. I wonder how many actually appreciate what all you do and have done for the Ferrari Club and its members.
My family and I sure do.

Thank you
Karl

 

I can't think of any other place I'd rather bring my 360.. or Porsches.. or VW or any other european car for that matter...

Fantastic sponsor for this forum, might pay even more dividends.

 

way to go Karl. Hope I find a 330gt 2+2 or a 365gt 2+2 soon for you to tinker with.

 

Let me know when the day comes.

wish we had some one like you in the Asheville area

 

John, there are a lot of good guys out there. Not sure about your area but I'm glad to see that there are other shops who really care about their clients. There were times when I thought we were the only ones.
I had an employee leave us around Thanksgiving last year. He made really good money at 28 years old. He got an offer of $10.-/hr more. No way I could compete with that plus if someone's not happy you need to let them go.
Last week I received this text from him.

"I know I already asked u about me returning, but I wanted to ask u again. I didn't realize it at the time but u r the best Indy repair shop around I have tried other places but they all do horrible work & lie to people, I'm gettin very tired of these other repair shops. I just wanted to ask again before I go to a dealer. It is very hard for me to say this, but it's the truth. I realize sometimes my emotions get in the way of me thinking clearly & I'm sorry what I said, I can't take it back but I can learn from it. Thanks "

If I had the room I'd take him back but we've outgrown our location and are working on building a new facility 2.5 times the size. May be then.

Anyway, when you find someone you trust, stick with them. Both parties deserve the loyalty. If you don't we are only 260 or so miles away, lol.

If you ever hear of a good shop in the Asheville area please let me know - we are a tracking family and it makes it very difficult without local service

 

Big Grats to Karl! Thanks for your work!

 

I certainly will.

 

I certainly will.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Is TWC (The Winning Collection) an option out your way? I know they used to work on a customer's F40 that we supplied parts for.

 

Tom Coleman is a good guy, and certainly capable. Winning at higher levels of sports car racing for decades.

Glad to see you man up, Karl! <very big grin>

 

Thanks Guys - Tom Coleman is about 1/2 hr from me - called and left him a message - hope it works out - would be great to have a local shop for track support, pre tracking inspection, and general maintenance - we have not been using VIR, Atlanta etc because of no support - just made it too much of a hassle - sending 2 cars to Road America for the 50th Annual meet and need inspection reports not more then 30 days old - this would be great along with the fact that my youngest daughter and son in law are moving to Asheville in 2 weeks - he is a total wrench head - my daughter said she married her future track support for her Lotus

It's always cool to have your wheels match your sweatshirt! Nice.

 

Up to date - Tom Coleman called and we are all set so thanks for the information - this will be a real game changer for us

 

F chat to the rescue again. Great news.

BTW, that Lotus needs a buff job.
