Hey all,

Which is better for mini parts? mini kingdom or karcraft?
which one is cheaper?

Lucas

isnt this one of those subjects you have to be very carefull about answering (if you wish to avoid legal dramas)... sorry mate IMO thats one you should ask in private..

Its only where slandering or libel(i think its called that...its writing "rude" things) is involved that things can get you into trouble....there is a difference between that and an opinion.

Personally I have never used Mini Kingdom, but by all accounts I can highly recommend Karcraft. There prices are very competitive and the service they provide is quite good with a good stock of parts.

Wrong mate!...if you impune somebody or some company's "good" name you can be in trouble if they take offence and want to pursue the matter....it can be said in the nicest possible way.

BTW The existing Padstow company (Mini Spares of Australia?? sumpin like that) bought out Mini Kingdom (formerly opp Bankstown Airport) years ago.

Kind of makes you proud to be an AUSSIE

It's ok if you post positive stuff about a company/business, but not so if you post bad stuff.

So far everyone has been nice

In no way did i want to hurt the reputation of any of the mini places in sydney, as I know they are all good. I should have asked "Generally who do people find cheaper?"

How do you get Karcraft to send out a catalogue?

edit: Greg has promised to send me one!
