As of this morning, Jerry Phillips is the owner of Vick Autosports in Fort Worth. Those of you who know him should send him congratulations

(or condolences

).

Wow, that's a real twist. Jerry's a great guy. He's the fella that was behind the Best Fiat Spider Challenge in Grapevine, TX and the one that presented me with my pretty trophy.

I wish him the best of luck and will continue to support Vick's.

well that's a surprise. Hadn't Vicks recently changed ownership? I seem to recall a discussion on Mira about the recent new owners

Things did not turn out quite like everyone had hoped. Jerry saw this as an opportunity he could not pass up.

Well, Jerry certainly has the enthusiasm and the love of Italian cars to make it work. I wish him and the rest of the crew there at Vick's the best.

Nice to see a proud tradition continue in the hands of a true Benzina head!

It seems that Csaba is no longer at Vicks, I thought he was the Main Man. Hopefully the new owner is what he's cracked up to be. from Mira:

"Funny that Val mentioned to me not a week ago that last time his company had
a change of ownership he lost his job.
Today I learned that since I made "disparaging remarks" about customers to my
coworkers my services are no longer needed. I was a bit surprised...
So please do not send any more orders or questions about parts to my personal
email.

At least I'll have more time to spend with Ben, my 11 month old son...

Good luck to Jerry with the Fiat parts business.

Csaba"

Sounds like Ron must have ordered some parts recently! Hopefully things work out for Csaba.

Very sad news indeed. I wish the best to Csaba. He's a fine man.

Who, me?

Nah, couldn't be me. Not Mr. Nonconfrontational.
And I'm ready to go a couple rounds with anybody who says differently!

Certainly will make me rethink ordering anything from Vicks.
