If you have seen The add on the parts section of the forum this is my statement after Gianni's quote that said I am mostly... something like.. crazy!!!
Let me start by saying:
I would never do any harm to any man's reputation even if he had wronged me in any way before giving him a lot of chances to make things right and I would say 10 months time and several emails is called in the best of words a LOT of PATIENCE and kindness!!!
alpine= alpina everyone
So gauges Alpina were not alpina just motormeter Gauges in an unknown non alpina as verified it would be dashmount
+ Spring sports = standard springs welded together to achieve 50mm lowered height.
+ Kit brakes (discs and calipers csi-csl-no 2800)= dicks not used 20000 km as claimed but worn out and needing replacement.
+gear knob Alpina 60 euro with a scratch on the emblem which I knew but when arrived it was broken and badly damaged as Gianni had packed it in an envelope and in the box with the heavy and sharp disk rotors and calipers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also in the deal there were included the a/c panel and leather center console side panels with the black side-grills which never arrived.He said he forgot and sold them to another guy and would find others for me + ship them free of charge because he didn't want to make me sad.
Off course it was a very good buy and off course I gave a very hard bargain and that's why I payed for it and bought it in the first place!!!!!!!!!!
I am going public with this so that the forum and site could take action about a member of e9 coupe that has been very untrue and owes me money and parts from January 2012(10 months now).I have given him time as well as warnings to go public many times in a friendly language and tone but still no actions.The short story is that he sold me a spring set custom made lowered 50mm that was on his car, an alpina console as he said with motormeter gauges, an alpina wooden shift knob , brake calipers pads and disks, the a/c panel and 2 side panels in excellent condition.
Finally what I got was an alpina shift knob ruined by bad packaging along with the heavy and sharp disk rotors(how unthoughtfull??????) !!! Didn't get the a/c panel and side panels as Gianni sold them to someone else and tried to fool me that it wasn't in our agreement, but after showing him previous emails and how many times I had sent a form of the parts included and he agreed he said he had forgoten and that he will find me others and send them to me.Never did!!!About the alpina shift knob he said he would find me another one and send it to me which was never done,Then I bought one and he would refund me and I would send him the broken one but he never did!Also the alpina gauges were not alpina and I had asked him about it many times and he had verified that they were alpina the same many times.The springs were actually standard springs welded together in the middle to achieve lowered height!!!!!!!!!And look what he sent me before my mechanic saw the springs so that I would now what to reply.
I do not want that you are not satisfied with john!
I'm just another knob Alpine I send you, at no cost to you!
first I want to see pictures.
If I find within the next 20 days I send to you knob Alpine Euro 50. for damage you received.
I hope instead that you have appreciated the beauty and rarity hard spring set machined and reinforced.no la jolla !!!! only -30mm
my spring -50mm
Also the brake rotors and pads where in shape for replacement and not used for 20000 km as he had told me.
Now in this whole time he had his first child and then claimed personal issues as he told me that I don't want to reveal and these were keeping him from doing what he owed.
After that, months were passing and I was been patient and every time I remembered it I sent him emails to remind him of the situation he had to take care of.I had also warned him that if I see no actions I will have to go public on the forum.But still only words till finally I got no answers to my emails and had to inform my fellow e9rs.
I have every email saved to prove what exactly and when was said as well as the parts included in the agreement as agreed by both parties several times.
I don't want to insult this forum and site by any means or brake any of its rules.I don't even want a dispute with Gianni I just want to make him pay his dues admit his mistake and be my friend again or if this won't happen at least warn other members of his thesis in resolving bad situations caused by him.Also I will not and clearly don't have to lie or exaggerate about anything due to his bad behaviour from the beginning and our emails that I have kept are here to back me up(I don't only have my memory to prove me right).
Thank you for your time and hope on your support
