Kind of sad how people act.

I just got back from the Pedmont show in Greensboro NC and kelly brown(
met wiz )was showing his dumb a$$ about 2 min after I was there.
The way he acts you can tell he suffers from a self-esteem problem.
So how does it go down , Kathy Jacobes (sorry you had to get in the
middle) tells me to behave, when I was just there to have a good time.
as a result when I was tring to buy parts from a new parts veneder, he
said something about me getting in to a "confertation" with her. I was
get a few things to finish on a 70 ghia vert I'm finishing. If he
wasn't acting that way I would have like to ask him if the 15 window he
was towing was going to be restored or a parts bus.
I still had a good time, to bad everyone couldn't.

I was not at this show.

But, Mario, could be you are a little touchy! Kelly has worked on a
few of my VW's, and has always beed as hospitable and kind as he can
be. But then again, I am not a competiotor of his, like you are, so no
telling what sort of exchange might have occured between you two,
especially if one or the other made comments about the others craft.

Could be the tow of you were like two surgeons commenting on the scar
after an operation.....

Kelly may not do West Coast Classics quality work, but is pretty
thorough, and IMHO is as honest as there is. A throw back to what NC
natives were when i was growing up......

Unfortunately, most of us (and I have never met you, Mario) have read
about the saga with John Connoly and have, unfortunately, formed our
own opinions.......

I donno, Mario..

When this stuff came up in the past here I would give you the BOD
because I wasn't personally involved. You are helpful here and seem
like an alright guy but I don't know you. I have dealt with some of the
people that you seem to have animosity towards.
So it is hard not to take sides, but I've tried not to as things
sometimes go bad between good people, etc.

What I don't get is why you're starting something here and on theSamba.
It does make me wonder if there's something to all this ruckus..

It's probably because he actually has a very successful business that takes
up most of his time. He posts on TheSamba quite often.

He doesn't have to keep telling everyone he's successful and brag everytime
he gets a new customer.

I'ts not to brag its only to show that all the crap that has been
written about me is just that .

I've been asked many times to give my side of the story and I've tried
but as I knew it would fall on deaf ears.

So i'm going along with the saying "the best reveange is living well"
I'm doing just that.

Part of what I thought all this online community was to help out and to
let people know and see how things are with VW's.

I'm up to near 30 restorations and hundreds of vw's repaired and put
back on the road but all people seem to care about and judge me by is
one dissatisfied customer 6 years ago.

That one dissatisfied customer from 6 years ago is well respected and
his word has been solid in the world of VW's and this group. Quit
whining about how the world treats you and how sad it is.
