About 4 years ago I ordered a grille for my 69 C GT from them when advertised
for $40 less than available elsewhere.. Pleasant enough experience but I have
not ordered from them since. I usually try to deal with people I have gotten
to know and feel comfortable with. Mostly for the reasons some have mentioned
- poor service, incorrect orders and my favorite - the never ending backorder.
I wrote a note a few days ago about 2 that I thought provided great service
and were competitive - Dave from Sports Car Service in VT (802) 387 4540 and
Bromsgrove MG Centre (UK) 011 44 527 879909.

Yep. My sentiments exactly. Pretty much same story, maybe worse. I
ordered one piston, was sent and charged for four, and they refused to
take them back. I was persistent though, backcharged the credit card
(twice), before I got a RA number. Took a year to get it settled.
Plague is right! And I hope someone from S.F. is monitoring this list.
Also had some poor quality parts from them.
