[s-cars] Samco GP Poll Results

[James Murray (LMC)]

S-Heads,

Well it's a nice quiet Sunday night while I puppy sit an 8 week old Lab,
while she snoozes I took some time out and compiled the results below.

Total GP members confirmed: 32 ( uh... Wow !?)
Awaiting confirmation (feedback): 5 (didn't get your input)

Total Full Kits: 27
Total Partial Hoses: 5

Hoses particulars:
TB652  Intercooler to throttle body: 31
TB653 Crossover pipe to intercooler: 28
TB735 Turbo to crossover pipe + TB736 (Spout hose): 30

Colors Chosen:
11 Black (Stealthy rules)
10 Red (Red Hot!)
9 Blue (Cool)
1 Yellow (guess who !? ;-))
1 Undecided (Hmmm...)

Chrome Rings:
24 Yes (You win!)
5 No (sorry)
3 ?

Packaging Method:
13 Bag
4 Box
12 Either
3 ?

Shipping Method:
6 Boat
2 Plane
22 Either (or Cheapest)
2 ?

GP for SS Clamps:
22 Yes
4 No
1 Maybe
5 ?

Get Other Hoses Manufactured:
11 Yes
13 No
4 Maybe
4 ?
Note: (10 said Radiator hoses as most wanted)

So there you have it, that's the input you have all e-mailed me.

A couple of things:
1)	As a group consensus I'll be asking that Samco to include the Chrome
Support Rings on all.
2)	Packaging method...Bag it ! (Samco says most ship this method
anyway)
3)	Although the consensus is for Boat over Plane, or cheapest method,
I've checked into the major shippers and I can't use shipping by boat unless
over 500lbs... So unless you have a suggestion for cheaper shipping, Plane
is the way we will go!
4)	Looks like enough interest for a Clamps GP... any takers?
5)	Getting other hoses made, with 11 people that's about $30 US extra
per hose if someone wants to lead another GP and get these made?


Ok, prices... unfortunately no... I don't have that yet. So far "Emery
worldwide" has given me the best rates for shipping, but I'm trying to
figure out how much we will get dinged on Customs, duty, Taxes, etc. So as
soon as I have that info, I'll let you know !


I quickly posted the poll input for you to see: (minus your e-mail, &
addresses, since I don't think you want me posting that kind of info)
