To all that have followed this thread. I sure hate to see the kind of things that happened to uncltodd happen to anybody, no matter who/what is at fault. But just as an observation, it seems like this has been a "people" problem more so than a "product" problem. I'm sorry to find out that things didn't work out for Boudy, he seemed like a knowledgeable guy and always very helpful. I had no business dealings with him, but recieved helpful info from him many times. I'm also sorry to find that his departure as a dealer may have left some people out on a limb. The real purpose to chime in here though is to say that I do have an interest here in the topic of BDR. I own one purchased through a different dealer in my neck of the woods. As far as the 10000 mile warranty goes, I don't know what you are talking about! What I do know is that whether written or un-written, Backdraft Racing has been nothing short of delightful to deal with in regard to their roadster. Leave Boudy or any BDR dealer out of this for a moment and just talk BDR, i.e. Reg and Frank Dodd and company, and you have excellent customer service and a group that stands behind their product. There is no such thing as a perfect Kit/Replica, heck the originals weren't even close to perfect. Backdraft has responded to anything that was manufacturer related and even to things that were not. Backdraft makes a very nice car, and I would recommend one to anyone looking for a turn-key-minus or turn-key car. As for turn-key though, just remember that Backdraft does not make drivelines and that is between you and the dealer/builder/person you are dealing with. I only voice this because if someone were skimming this thread to quickly, they might think Backdraft is being blamed the way KCR has been accused. (I have never heard anything bad about KCR either).
Hey, Boudy had a tough time, made some bad decisions, went out of business. I am sorry to see that, for him and his customers. Again, I just want to say that Backdraft Racing is a great company to deal with and they have a really nice car.
