Renowed for not pulling his finger out?
He got his full fist up there so he got a hard time pulling it out thats for sure.

Scenario.
Order parts and get told it will take two weeks.
Phone back after three weeks and get told it will be ready the week after.
Call back another week later and get told it will take another week.
Repeat that until 18 months have passed and you might see your stuff.

Note im not slagging his parts as they are great its just too bad he got more profitable things to sell so very little time to produce gears.
