I really thought hey a couple of missteps so be it, I'll just let it go. But now I'm at the junction where no eta of my paid for packages. Surprised cost at delivery, and the final straw tonight. Was dropped off at the wrong house. When the person indicated as such, delivery driver was like " oh well " and drove off.

I have never asked for or received any monies off nor special treatment. Paid those invoices in full with the expectation of actually getting what I paid for. Alas this doesn't seem to be the case.

When I contacted the company concerning my concerns, felt like I was swatted away. Sorry to come here ranting as I don't want to be known as " that " person. I just want what we all want, what we've paid for !

Arrived tonight as well...

Just found this one on e-Bay. While it may be a little "crude" by today's standards, the subject matter is very attractive and I don't have anything else like it in my collection.

Did It Pay To Advertise? ...

This Porsche GT3R (992) was a powerful track only race car. Its water-cooled naturally aspirated 4.2 liter flat 6 produced 565 HP. Designed to be eligible for all motorsports series globally, it had many successes including a class win at Le Mans. I got this particular numbered LE of 2000 as a review piece and the extensive livery touts "AUTOart" and "AUTOartmodels.com" from nose to tail. I was curious if this livery made this a phantom GT3R or did AUTOart actually sponsor this Porsche in those motorsports events that include Australia, Hong Kong, Macau and Japan. It turns out that AUTOart never sponsored a race car, but there's Scuderia Autoart in New South Wales, Australia that does. (Note: the 1st four letters here are not caps). So the question in my mind was: Was this a vanity exercise? and did AUTOart think this would sell 2000 units? It was released in 2007, and by the time I could actually get an answer from AI, this image has basically been lost in time... but it is somewhat of a curiosity piece. 244476 244477 244478 244479 244480 244481 244482 244483 244484 244488 244485 244486 244487
