5 years at 2002AD, it was 7 years ago that Ben installed a new heater core in my '74tii, so we missed each other by a couple of years.

 

SO, the important stuff (as Ben will attest):  How many times did you get to Centro Basco for lunch and/or dinner and/or both in the same day ??!!??

Ok I’ll say it since it hasn’t been said yet....

 

why come here and ask a bunch of 02 guys to talk shit about a 02 parts supplier?!?! AFTER you stopped working for him?  If you have a story to tell then tell it.  If not move on.  Personally I think showing up with 1 previous post to a forum and asking people to pile on and talk shit about someone without having a point in the conversation (other than to drag someone’s name in the mud) on the internet is bullshit.  I’m neither a friend or foe of Ben. Met him twice.  Bought something from him once which was a $20 part he had in stock and had no issues.  I know others have and I use that specific knowledge to make informed decisions of doing business with him in the future. A former employee wanting to talk dirt is just poor taste.  In my opinion.  Especially when you start out by saying you parted ways on good terms and are starting your own 02 endeavors.  Personally I’ll take that into consideration as well when I make future decisions with my 02 restoration.  

 

Rant off.

Burning the bridges behind you is not good in the long term.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

I'd like to hear everything despite the "bad taste" and "bullshit" charges. OP never said his new endeavors were 02 related.

Had 2 positive (yet overpriced) encounters with 2002AD. One in Sun Valley and one in Pomona but then, I choose the parts I wanted

before I paid and drove home with them.

 

Here's a question; Was anyone ever unhappy with a service you provided and how was it resolved?

Whatever business you start and whatever cars you choose to work on, I will not be giving you my business. You did a great job of killing potential customers in 5 sentences!

“So I quit my job of my own accord and on good terms but now I want to honor those good terms by declaring open season on my former employer and telling everyone about all the bullshit...and by the way, I’m starting a new business.” 

 

Ummm...Wha?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
