    I apologize for comments I made regarding TA Performance and any offensive remarks I made towards anyone else. I made my initial post without calming down. I am not making any excuses. I should have thought more clearly before making an ass of myself. I just got off the phone with Mike of TA after a long discussion. I understand that Mike is the only provider of aftermarket parts that is actively looking for ways to introduce new parts for our hobby. I felt attacked after other members went to defend Mike and after speaking to Mike, I understand why everyone came to his aide. Please accept my apologies regarding this mess I started. Sincerely,

    Nathaniel David Durell

    Thanks

    I am glad that you talked to Mike directly he is and has always been a great person to deal with as far as my opinion. It does take huge nuggets to opologize. That says miles for your charactar.

    that's cool..

    Nathaniel,

    (do they call you Nate?)


    Glad to see that you talked to Mike, and worked out some issues that could be hindering your performance. I hope I was not too harsh with my response, I just pounded it out quick last night, before going to bed, and can't really recall everything I said.

    If I offended you with any of my comments, I apologize, but I was a bit miffed ... as you would be, if two of your good friends were under fire.

    I hope we can move on, we would love to work with you on your combo, all of us sharing info, on this site, to make everyones experience in this hobby more rewarding, is what this site was set up for.

    Thanks for having the "nads" to address this topic again, and we welcome your input in the future.

    What an honorable guy that David! I certainly understand your frustrations having been there myself along with everyone else on this page. I admire the fact that you at least gave Mike the benefit of the doubt by calling and straightening out the situation. I think it also says alot for Mike that he jumped into this forum not with the idea of defending himself but trying to help out a customer on his own time. That's dedication. He could have sat back and watch this thread go back and forth, but he opted to cool the fire. Lest we forget, he DOES make the majority of the parts for these engines and continues to develop new ones and perfect the old ones. He could very easily have the opinion that " I do make the best parts and they HAVE to buy from me!" but he's just not that kinda guy! Hats off to you both for being bigger men!:beer

    Nathaniel,

    I think you have just gained a tremendous amount of respect from your "Buick brothers" here by humbleing yourself with a retraction like that!! You have from me......:TU:

    WELCOME ABOARD.......:grin:

    By the way David, how did those Stage 2 fender emblems work out?

    Jim,

    the emblems worked out great! Under cars for sale check out the 1971 gs455 and click on the mpeg. It is now working.
