Don Allison
Hi there - has anyone approached Don Allison about becoming a Vendor on the site? I know a lot of guys have been in there. I would really like to get some business cards, poster, etc. at his business to promote the club and hopefully bring him some additional business from our group in return.

Re: Don Allison
No way - I just heard about him too. Guy owns property in Colorado Springs and has a ton of Broncos and spare parts. I like the idea of supporting the local Bronco guys. I have not been in, but have seen the pics of the sea of Dead Broncos. I will stop by and check out his shop when I am down that direction.

Re: Don Allison
Awesome. Thanks, I guess I dont feel so bad now afterall.
And I am the same way. I could order the windshield gasket from my local auto glass supply house, and save about 7 dollars but I ordered it from Tom's to support them instead. I hope it is here soon, I need to get the glass in it before it gets broken sitting here in the shop.

Re: Don Allison
Don isn't "technically" a business. He owns a junkyard and doesn't deal in new products, just has parts from EBs and other vehicles he takes in. Most deals he does is done on a handshake. Really great guy, knows more about EBs than anyone I have ever come across. But like I said, his junkyard isn't technically a true business with a store front and warehouse, its a bone yard where there are a lot of parts for sale on smile & a handshake.

Re: Don Allison

Re: Don Allison
I talked to Don Saturday after the Toys for Tots. He said he was going to get on the site sometime, but he's not that computer savvy. He still plans to log on.

Re: Don Allison
Sounds to me like maybe we have a post-breakfast venue for an upcoming monthly get together....
