Specialty Auto-Sports Problems

Has anyone had any problems with Steve Lawing.I am having a big problem and was wondering if anybody else is?

John, I

John, every SAS customer who has one of Steve's cars has had a different wait time, but every one I've met has been very, very happy with the finished product.

As with JPS, proximity to the builder, expectations of the build process and your personal interaction with the shop may dictate your outcome over time.

I strongly encourage personal e-mail with several owners of SAS/SAW cars in order to see if what's going on with your project is 'normal,' and if the other owners may have any tips or advice.

To find owners, go to the registry and sort by manufacturer.

You did not indicate the nature of your problem. If you will contact me off-line, I will be glad to advise you. I am familiar with most of the SAS issues. My email is listed on SOC.

John, what Charles said. I'm coming up on eight years of very happy ownership.
Hoss

Has it been eight years, Hoss? Wow!

I think Hoss and maybe Jack Crosby probably hold the long term 'total mileage on a Speedster replica' record. Although, Nolan Scott may be playing catch up (Miami is way down there).

Charles--I'm not so sure about that. I believe that David and Francine Stroud from Canada might have me and Hoss beat. And now David has put a Suby engine in his Speedster so he's ready to pile on more miles. Sick, sicker and sickest?

Back to SAS--to me, the first step is to deal directly with the manufacturer---Steve Lawing in this case. Next might be to PRIVATELY speak with other SAS owners before posting on a public forum.

It would be interesting to see some kind of ranking for customer loyalty towards the various Speedster makers. I'm betting that SAS might be as high on the ranking as anyone. (That's a good subject for another thread!)

Start by contacting Charles Gardner then John Hallstrand.

Just my 2 centavos worth. I hope this has a happy ending and believe Steve deserves that.

I want some of what Jack's been smokin...

Hey Vince, smoke this.

And this too. Do you know something that you want to share here?

Nothing that hasn't been shared over & over again.....

John - you will find there are plenty of helpful (and passionate) owners on this site willing to help you with some off-line advice. That's what makes this SOC community such a great resource of info, entertainment and comradery. Best of luck with your project.

...ahem, Musbjim's VS pushing 130,000KM (80,000 miles) and counting...

Hoss & Jack, I am LMAO !

Steve Lawing solved my problem at SAS.

I kinda knew Steve would.

I really don't think I've ever heard a bad word from OWNERS of SAS cars.

Plenty from non owners though.

How odd.

Hoss--8 years. Amazing, and the Red Man still looks like new!

Jack, if you and I had as easy a life as the Red Man does, we would look brand new too. What, you mean to say Hoss babies his car? Unbelievable.

Isn't Steve in jail?

nope.

Never was, otherwise he wouldn't be on the header of this site.

I really think Dave is pulling some legs here, gentleman. I thought it was funny.

Why?

hahaha!!

Dave isn't here....

Dave went through a phase a few months ago where he would dredge up a series of old, highly acrimonious threads and post 1-line comments that seemed intended to re-ignite contentious exchanges. I suppose that

DAVE WHO

DAVE WHO

Dave isn't here....

Felix, he's still at it. I rarely cuss on this site, but that's bullshit and I think he needs to knock that juvenile crap off. It's not merely annoying, it's destructive, antagonistic and rude.

If he were my kid, I'd ground him from social interaction, lock him in the basement and flood it with something like cement. Thankfully, my son was raised better.

Don't forget "mean spirited"...

MY TWO CENTS











THATS IT

Well said, Gerd.

How do you really feel Cory??

I among many others feel the same as Cory. it's not because I own a SAS car as I would feel the same way if you were dumping on Carey, Henry, John or any other builder trying to make a living. Unwarranted off-handed remarks from someone who has no connection with a builder serves only to scare people away from that builder and verges on slander and/or libel. Steve Lawing is an honorable man trying to do business and make a living. Your comments, if trying to be funny, are as humorous as farts at a baptism. I would suppose if you dare made such remarks about the aforementioned builders, one might take you to court. Of course a good lawyer could always say his defendant was only talking out of his a$$.

What Are Defamation, Libel and Slander?

Generally speaking, defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm. Slander involves the making of defamatory statements by a transitory (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral (spoken) representation. Libel involves the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine or newspaper.

ps: If you're coming to Carlisle, let me buy you a beer.

Well said, Nolan. I share your sentiments.
