OK, I've been biting my tongue as long as I can, so let's get some things straightened out.
The SPF dealer in Dallas has a name, he is Jim Creel and many of you that have posted here know that as he has attended several of our Dallas area meetings as a member, been introduced and had discussions with some of you.
I'm not sure why you are pu$$y footing around and avoiding using his name. Jim has been a SPF owner and enthusiast for several years, just like many of us, and decided to turn his passion for the cars into a profession. He moved his family to Texas and opened up the dealership in Plano. Kind of sounds like what CSXNUT said about his situation. When Jim negotiated his arrangement with SPF USA it was with the understanding that his territory would be the state of Texas, not just North Texas. But guess what, the situation changed with the pressure of SPF USA to move cars, and now Doug Reed shows on the SPF WEB site map as a dealer in Houston and I guess CSXNUT has the OK from SPF USA to open up in Austin . So who is coming into who's territory, hmmmm?
I do believe at some point prior to the Austin event Jim expressed a desire to have a SPF owners event. He was provided guidance that the annual event was not the venue for such a thing and it did not happen. So hasn't this really been blown out of proportion?
Lastly, if specific comments were made regarding this idea or dealer in general, why didn't those that expressed them make a posting, rather than Colleen?
I think we're beating a dead horse by now, but let's call a spade a spade, put it behind us and move on.
It was still the best damn annual meeting yet and I'm anxiously awaiting next years to be even better.
