But just to clarify one more of your inaccuracies, myself as a Superformance owner, and Rick as an independent Superformance dealer no more represent "Superformance" the company or the brand, than you do Kirkham or all Kirkham owners. This is not an insult, and I apologize if you thought it was.
I do know Lance as a very good friend and heard about this article before it arose and was hoping to just pass along some actual comments from the very person who gave the interview, not someone who just read it. Maybe someone was interested, I didn't know. That's all. My small addition stopped long before the ongoing debate of "what's real or not" and "what's a replica or not". I just never even thought about that as being of any interest to anyone.
No hard feelings I hope. None were meant. Cheers.

Wow, saying you're not insulting me, then state you're clarifying more of my inaccuracies? In my view, it's not an inaccuracy to call you and Mr. Muck representatives, whether it's in writing or not or paid or not. And fail I see any other my inaccuracies, but for the misspelling of Mr. Stander's name. So please, I'd certainly appreciate it, if you would stop insulting me, even though you are when you say you're not.
Rick is an independent SPF dealer, but he doesn't represent the company? Come on. Just stop. Sorry, he must make representations on behalf the company and product because he sells it. And from my armchair here, it sure sounds like you're making representations on Mr. Stander's behalf, such as expressing his disappointment with the article. You talk to him regularly, as a friend, your privy to a letter to dealers, etc. Sure sounds like a representative to me.
I, OTOH, other than a few conversations and emails about the purchase of my car back in 2007, have never spoken to Mr. Kirkham or anyone at KMP, except for one or two customer service issues (bad gauge, starter switch, I can't remember, it was so long ago). Bit of a relationship difference in my mind.
Anyway, moving along.
