A sad day in Madison

[Eclipse_Tuner]

I regret to inform you guys, that House of Horsepower got broke into and robbed over the holidays….

Ive only been airbrushing for them for a few months, and they are a great group of guys. Its just sick that someone would do that to a small shop like that.

Hopefully this doesnt do anything to shut down the shop…

That’s too bad.

I would assume they have insurance?

I’d really like to feel sorry about that…yet I don’t.

It looks like they lost their website too:

the website is in the process of being rebuilt…lesson learned about using Charter’s webhosting services…

The shop got cleaned out pretty good…bike frames, blowers, and pretty much every air tool and hand tool. Hurray for insurance.

?? had a bad experience with the shop?? its not really my business, just curious…

I did their website first time around and didn’t use Charters webhosting services. If it’s being rebuilt, it’s news to me.

Read back thru the Car Shows 2007 thread, its in there somewhere. I’m gonna go count my money…

I’m really sorry to hear about this, that sort of violation is very frustrating.

What hosting service are you using now? I would highly recommend a linux server over a windows one

[Eclipse_Tuner]

im not completely filled in with what they are doing to the website, all that i know is that it was having issues and was on a charter server at the time.

i guess that area of pennsylvania ave has been getting hit pretty often with break-ins and thefts over the past few months. Lance is considering building a shop out by his house, which would be nice cuz then he’d have a spray booth.

on the plus side, it sounds like the shop is going to continue to do the car show.

[Garibaldi]

That’s good to hear that they will continue to do the car show, is it planned for the VFW site again this year?

[Eclipse_Tuner]

currently it is, but it hasnt been officially booked yet

[Garibaldi]

Sounds good! thumbsup.gif

Speaking of upcoming car shows, I received a flyer for the Boondockers Street Rod annual show coming up in early May.
