[s-cars] Re: 1.8t Coil Pack Group Buy Contact

[Daniel Brook]

Guys,

 I personally have a wholesale account with two local Audi dealer in
my area (Los Angeles). If Dennis's connections don't pan out, then i'm
more than willing to help. The only thing is that I have to place the
orders, so you guys would have to pay me first. The discount is
basically 15% off retail.

We'll revisit as soon as I get this pile of  _priority_ off my desk". That was basically a no. The parts department had just  recently met their total gross number for calendar year 05, and I was hoping to  play on his desire to start 06 with a "volume" state of mind. How soon they  forget.
