Aquila?

[cameronfurnival]

Despite there being references to Aquila getting their act together inthe last two magazines I still cant get hold of them - emails to milan are bounced back and the phone goes straight to 'beep beep beep'. Does anyone know what is happening down there? I could do with buying some parts for the romero!!!

Re: Aquila?

They don't deserver to stay in business. They use a call answering service and NEVER reply to messages. They NEVER reply to e-mails. I spoke to them at Stoneliegh, they took my number and said someone would call me - guess what? No call.

At best very unprofessional and worst downright rude.

Re: Aquila?

I agree Chris. I wouldnt like to think what all that talk about illegal stuff was that Milan alluded to in the mag.
Trouble is, there is a market for spare parts and the club needs to bring pressure to bear on getting them made avaialble to members.

Re: Aquila?

WE HAVE TRIED MATE WE HAVE TRIED. Its all very sad but there isnt much more the club can do. Its all promises promises. This view is my own as a committee member but Im sure every one feels the same. Its not without considerable effort from the committee that we had the response from Aqilla in the last issue of Pit Stop.IM as confused as every one else.

Re: Aquila?

Hi Cameron,
What parts are you looking for? You never know someone might be able to help. Let me know and I will ask around.

Re: Aquila?

Hi Cameron. Yes, the situation is extremely galling and frustrating. As others have said, that apart from trying to contact them and extacting promises of improved service which fail to materialise, there is n't much the club can do. I e-mailed the boss again last evening ,and I expressed your collective views and indicated dissatisfaction of the service provided,despite his recent letter in the mag. That e-mail has not come back, so I await a reply , which I shall publish. You may have noticed that their advert. no longer appears in the mag., it is being witheld until his service to you all , is improved.

Re: Aquila?

Hi to all the above, some of you will know me from the past and maybe i can help!.
I am not sure what is going on with milan at the mo`, I know that he has a lot on his plate but lets put that aside for now.
Cameron, if you let me know what you need i may be able to help you out, please drop me an email to [email protected] with your req`s and contact details and i`ll see what i can do.
Sorry to appear so mysterious but it is very straightforward i now run a courier business (note to Paul M, see I did find a cure!!) and i am out very early and back very late.
However am happy to help if i can, Regards to all Steve

Re: Aquila?

Question for Steve Himsworth. How easy is it to fit a tow bracket to the current range of cars? Is there a purpose made job available? Or do you have to do your own thing?

Re: Aquila?

Hi Danny, we did sort out a jig for a tow bar that picked up on the rear section of exposed chassis at each side but it did involve cross drilling and tubing to prevent crushing the box section, as a result it wasnt very popular if i recall, whether the jig still exists i am not certain. Not very helpfull i`m afraid. I will think on it though, and get back to you if i come up with anything. Steve
