My RANT!

[Panelfantastic]

I hate to quote my thug mayor in his recent re-election campaign but it fits this topic. When asked about allegations of wrong doing, he replied "You gotta shake dem hate-ahs off!"

We are very lucky to have craftsman out there who take their spare time, passion and skill, and apply it to the VW world. There ain't no profit in fooling with this one-off stuff. I'm surprised Lanner hasn't gotten fed-up long before now. PLEASE DON'T QUIT! Stick it out as long as you can, scale back when you have to. Don't let someone with no talent, no skill (other than flappin' their man pleaser) run you off. Your friends and customers KNOW you have integrity.

Right On ....

Lanner has made parts for me that do not exist and has made life pretty easy when converting my gearbox from a stock beetle to 901 and now to a 915.

I give Lanner an idea on a peice of paper with some rough dimensions and he returns a part that fits like it was originally meant to be there.

I've still got some ideas in mind that do not exist (I can't seem to find an existing solution) so I'll be knocking on his door soon

I second that!


Catching a little slack from who? I have never heard anything negative about your products or buisness, so i guess people are calling you up with this negativety?

Your a standup guy, always looking to help others. If it wasn't for you, i would have sold all my aircooled stuff back when i blew the 2332 in the super. I really enjoyed this past summer's cruises, meets, and shows. It's been many years since i last "drove" and really enjoyed my super.

Helping me out with the broken wheel stud on the holiday weekend last year, really meant alot. Your willingness to answer the stupidest of questions i have when i call is awesome. Even that brake swap we talked about last night?

I got your link to the CN Tower climb your doing again, and will sponsor you. I'm actually thinking of doing it too! Have 1 month to train. More than double the steps i did at the Eiffel tower last summer.

I always try to give my buisness to local vendors. They have always treated me right.

Good to hear your not hanging up your tools.

Dan, thanks bro. I've seen your toys, and I still have a little green in my eyes. My bus is going to get the suspension/brake upgrade I was talking about earlier with you. So all the existing goodies are up for grabs... special discount for a repeat customer...

Pete, the climb is easy. Let's do it. It's only 1776 steps, eazy breazy. I'm looking forward to this summer, the GL-coalition is growing bigger and bigger. Carbo has the 944 setup on his car, as does Larry (the T setup on his oval). Nelson upgraded from NA to T over the winter. My super is getting the Boxster treatement [pending disk brake spindles ] at all 4 corners, and the Bus is getting the T's, so you gotta set YOUR super up right and keep up with the joneses! It'd be crazy to see a good dozen GL's at the shows this year! Ypsilanti is first in line, so get ready boys.....

.... I wish I could get the T2 goodies right now, but T1 first. My 915 is getting the $$$$ "goodies" $$$$ right now anyway. (man that hurts the wallet!) Not sure which brakes on the T2 really. (Porsche of course) Thanks.

Lanner this is Michael from Jamaica. I bought some stuff from lanner a long time ago, haven't used them as yet because i am carefully doing my car but i must say to all that his work is great i have no problem with him and he is really helpful. Lanner if you even pack it in one day and only do work for friends put me on you list of friends.

Michael.


P.S By the way we will be needing another of your 5 bar braces here in the island ( jamaica ).

This is Denny in Homosassa Florida. Two years ago you did the machine and conversion work for the 944 Turbo hubs and spindles for my 1970 standard bug. The work that you did was flawless and I can't thank you enough for doing such an excellent job. The quality of the machine work is world class...period.

I've logged more than 12,000 miles on the car since the upgrade and the 944 conversion is awesome to say the least. The stopping power is jaw dropping!

Don't allow a few dim witted individuals to lead you away you from your passion. This hobby (passion) that we VW freaks indulge in would surely suffer if your talents were not available.

Keep up the excellent work and don't allow anyone to change your course.
