RhysP Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 [quote name='flyfisher' post='1266256' date='Jun 12 2011, 04:21 PM']Now, what sort of company would you prefer to deal with? [/quote] I'd prefer to deal with a company that concentrates on building a quality product, which is what I do. And if that means I've got to pay for a phone call or a spare part then so be it. Quote
kevin_lindsay Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 [quote name='Ken Smith' post='1265567' date='Jun 11 2011, 11:57 PM']LOL.. did you record your conversation with Kent Armstrong? There was never any such threat of a law suit in anyway shape or form. Get Kent up here. He lives in USA by the way, not the UK.[/quote] Of course I didn't record my conversation with Kent, and all I had to go on was his conversation with me sftr you spoke to him. If I'd been misinformed, then I apologise. Still, I couldn't see any reason why he'd bring it up if it didn't happen. As for Kent living in the USA, yes he lives there now, but in thf 80's hd lived in the UK! when he returned to the states, his son Aaron took over the UK pickup builds under the Wizard operation.

Roland Rock Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Ken Smith' post='1266314' date='Jun 12 2011, 05:03 PM']Most people who post on line do not use their real name so no one knows who they are, where they are, what they do, how old they are of if the information the put in their profile is even true. Then, they come out and point the finger at someone or some company that has a real name and address. Not easy to defend is it?[/quote] Good point. How do we know you're the real Ken Smith? You could be Kev from Bolton Edited June 12, 2011 by Roland Rock Quote
