[s-cars] hamburg technic

[chris chambers]

Tony,

thanks for the links, I had recently found them and my inquiries to the seller haven't received
good answers, only the same copy n paste three different times "The parts are mde by hamburg technic in Germany. order them now and we will ship as soon as possible"

I asked one question: Where are these parts made, and got the above reply again.


Chris
