Firstly, I know, yes JAMO and Bernie I broke a rule. But Craig knows I've said exactly the same thing to him face to face that that I personally don't like FR batteries.

Craig you have responded adequately in #29. I removed my continuum of that conversation as Boxhead suggested which I thought was a good idea. There's no brand damage as its an opinion on a battery by me. Who listens to me! Its an opinion, 1 opinion. Not a sea of negativity against your business. I'm sure with all your savviness you've eliminated the poor performing product dead ducks but that doesn't eliminate my bad experiences with that battery brand.

It is a personal chat and opinion as its a public forum. Its where people provide opinions and insights into all things cobra. Sometimes people will express negative opinions on associated brands of product that you supply in your kit. I wasn't aware you sold batteries with your kit but so what, build a bridge.

If you're not prepared to have people voice opinions on products you supply like tyres, shocks, steering wheels, car shapes, cars, engine etc etc then move on. Its cars. Everyone has an opinion.

Lastly its not unfair negativity. Find me where I have ever bagged out your business. I can post up 10 posts where I have said the exact opposite. You simply snowball a small issue into a massive one by continuing on.

Why not just say, "yeah Matt you did have a bad run with those batteries but we've not had an issue since and we've used a lot of them. It might have had something to do with the cars usage or maybe just some bad luck. Good though you've now found an alternative that's working well for you in Odyssey."

Why not just smooth it out than think that I have some personal vendetta against you and your business. Id walked away from this topic happy in that I thought by deleting and cooling my posts we'd get on with it, but no...you gotta play the everyone bashing your business card. Freeken over that rant.

Lastly, I have responded to your texts and emailed you directly to explain pretty much what I have already said here. I have no axe to grind but the one you keep shoving in our face.

So drop all the woe is me... Its hard for everyone to make a buck not just kit car manufacturers. You have a great product but don't damage your own brand with the continuance of this conversation.

Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year and I wish you all the best.
