Look, "Drift & Bob" Dalton your the biggest lair I have heard in a very

debates after getting screwed. They got the scooters, one is Dave's old one 
and Tom got his from G. Both are not real happy.......... Brad has been 
emailing G in private of which I am kept informed of..........Tom doesn't 
want to even talk to him after the last round of pounding G gave him over a 
broken switch that G said probably got broke during building, but here read 
this if you have any doubts.....

Dalton you are so stupid.......... while trying to kiss up to G's ass you 
expose the fact that now 4 out of 5 of the scooters he sent us had 
problems, can we safely now say that he does NO QA of his scooters at all 
before sending them out............

You are still a  lair.......... all are running, the Apollo always has, I 
don't even use the Gavin on the small dives or for digging its to dam big.

You still don't know WTF you are talking about, the "Frankenstein" when you 
saw it was to be tested that day, I had never even had it in the water. We 
didn't have time and Cobb was fucking with it and the trigger wire came off.

One thing we did learn from your post, every scooter but the first one has 
had problems.

Cobb/JT first scooter OK ..... Todd reed switch problem ..... Tom reed 
switch , now clutch...... Dave/Brad ran backwards, now clutch and 
trigger....... "Drift & Bob" Dalton leaked, bad nose cone.
The sixth scooter was an SS, Bill got it, he thought it wasn't fast enough, 
Rod took him on a dive and proved it was fine, it has never leaked, broke 
down or trigger stuck......

Dalton, at least let G know you are going to post so he can pull his dick 
back in so you don't step on it so hard.......
