TRE is on the next level......

......when it comes to customer service, and parts!

I apologize in advance as I don't usually throw up these plugs, but this time I have to make an exception. (move to OT if needed) Yesterday morning I stopped at the grocery store, picked up a few items then went back to the 911. I came around the back, and I was pissed to see the left rear license plate light shattered. The pieces were laying right below my exhaust tip. No note, no nothing. Oh well such is life. I got into work , called TRE, asked to speak with Dave. He was very sympathetic and understanding as I explained my predicament. I went ahead and ordered a pair of the license plate lights again, and requested TWO day shipping. Well, to my surprise, when I get home from work, what do I find sitting on my front step, a small box from TRE. Hands down this outfit knows how to do business, and they have gained one more customer for life. I had always heard the stories about TRE from the West Coast Pelicans, but I just wanted to say that they are here for us East Coast guys too. Thanks for shipping the license plate lights overnight Dave, you went above and beyond what I expected!!

I MET DAVE OVER 28 YEARS AGO WHEN HE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE IN HIS FERRARI DAYTONA!

Dave is a great guy an AMAZING driver and an absolute weath of information about all things 911... Ferrari...Cobra Etc!..

I met Dave at Bob Campbells old shop (Motorsport LTD) around 28-29 years ago..

I was in a 356 Speedster and Dave pulled up in a Ferrari 365GTB4 DAYTONA that he had just had shipped over from Europe.. We talked and then he offered to take me for a ride in the Daytona..

The Daytona was cool but the high pitched whine of those 12 cylinders at the 7,000 RPM redline was terrible!

You have no idea how BAD a 12 cylinder FERRARI sounds at full song..

Riddle:
What do all Porsche owners have in common?


answer:
They all want a FERRARI!

when asked the riddle...

I answered that "Yeah I Can RELATE to that"


When I looped my 427 COBRA at Willow in the late 1980s Dave was the only person I trusted could handle a 500HP MONSTER and he was who I put in the drivers seat to see if it was me or the car.. He almost lost it also.. (Hard Tires)


Dave do I still have to pay you the $3,000 for posting that you saw my Blue Targa glued to the rear bumper of your 2.8 liter Carrera at ridiculous speeds?
