Your experience may vary and all that.  First, rudeness is not in my nature.  
I've talked to Margaret several times and like her as all do.  

Second, all I know is I kept getting pushed to the back of the line so they 
could take care of their long-time business associates with Pebble Beach and 
whatnot.  That's what they told me and I believe them.

Sorry, but I don't accept being deemed less important for any reason.  Not when 
I'm paying over $700 for the privilege.

...And when the gauges came back, the needles were yellow and bent like when I 
sent them and the fule gauge stopped working shortly after.  

All that said, I have to say that in three years restoring the TR3A, I have 
nothing but positive (actually, giddy) things to say about TRF, Moss, British 
Frame and Engine, and Victoria British.  

And as for Randall and this List, the terms Zeus and Olympians come to mind, 
...but that would probably seem hyperbolic?
