[s-cars] Useful supplier bashing

[Mark Strangways]

Hi List,

    Below I have attached 2 messages I sent to TAP. Yes I wish to bash them
for what they are worth. I hope the Idiot that run's TAP also subscribes to
this list...
    I wish to warn any potential listers who are looking for a parts
supplier of TAP's lack of customer support.
As you will see from my messages I was polite and non accusing throughout my
messages.

I have yet to receive any reply. If you are shopping around for high
performance stuff, stay clear of TAP.
I did do TAP stage 1 and it was great, but don't count on a repeat
performance if you order based on that.

I think I will end this before I write something I shouldn't...

regards,
Mark...
