[DML] Re: WANTED: Angle Drive

["turbodelorean" <dmcfan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok how is this not an attack from a vendor to another vendor? And 
the moderators let it through? I got emails off the list from 
moderators telling me that I could not post things against vendors 
when I brought up the fan issue. This is much worse than what I was 
posting. 

Now to reply to this post. Houston is trying to make parts that will 
repace the originals and look as original as possible, not trying to 
mix and match parts off of others cars that might work with 
modifications (band-aid it). Things take time to get the kinks out 
of them and it is not like they are able to long term test all of 
their products. I am sure if they ever had a product that is known 
to melt they probably would have taken it off the market and not 
continue to sell it to customers. I give them credit for that.
