Don,

If you want to talk cars, go to the "All Cobra Talk" or "Shop Talk" section of the forum. This thread is properly located in the "Consumer Watch" area and I think it's all very relevant information for anyone who may be considering a purchase and is wrestling with manufacturer and/or builder decisions. I went with E-M also and I've never regretted it, but Santiago has what appears to be a legitimate gripe and I think he has presented his case fairly and without malice. I think if you go back and reread the thread you'll see that his primary gripe is with Cavaliere, not with E-M. He has repeatedly stated that he believes in E-M's product, but where he finds fault with them is in their initial endorsement of Cavaliere and subsequent refusal to help after Cavaliere apparently butchered the build (as claimed by Santiago). Don't you find it even a little disturbing that E-M would not at least offer to look into Santiago's claims?? I do.

Some manufacturers, like Unique Motorcars (also a small family run business), have stepped up to the plate in similar situations and I for one admire them for it. It's good for business and it constitutes the "right thing to do"!

I've said enough,

Mike
