(No offence to 924) but a small time dude with a few 20 year old dismantled cars in his backyard isn't hurting anyone.

Again, Exactly! I took on these two 928s because the owner could not sell ANY parts from them. He knew I was into 928s and we worked out a deal. A couple of these 928 parts dismantlers are straight up a$$h*les. I've had conversations with one company and I figured out within the first conversation that I wasn't going to do business with them. One of them happens to be a sponsor of RL. What's really going on is that 928 fever is coming to an end, and everyone is fighting for survival in a dieing market. The difference between me and them is that I knew that when I started. I do this to keep fresh spares for my own cars, and to try to help some other owners while making the bare minimum of money on the side. The parts I sell to others really hasn't made me ANY money, but it has gotten me many thousands of dollars in parts for my cars. I make my money at my own shop repairing and servicing old people's Mercedes. So RL looks flat out silly to me.
