Anyone heard from Ken Ward / Elduderino / Avincar lately?

I am trying to track him down, but to no avail. No answer on his phone and no other correspondence, and apparently no recent forum posts either here or bimmerforums.com
Anyone have more info than me?

Yes, I've paid him and had a little communication around xmas. He said his employee quit and from his website it looks like his "brick and mortor" store is closing so i'm tryin to be very understanding..... but this getting rediculous! No replys in months now.

HEY KEN, get at me!

I've emailed him a few times at his personal address with no response so I am guessing something big must have happened. Did you guys try his cell?

Dont bother will the cell, it goes to VM after 3 rings and you wont get a call back.
Good news is i heard from him last night. He emailed me around Midnight eastern standard. The reply i got was from his websites contact by email page. So he is alive...
He sited closing the store as the reason for the delay... I will let the board know when and if he responds again....


BTW, glad to know i am not the only one!!

Ken is OK - he is going through a significant change in the company, hence the delay with responses - on top of that, he had gotten some type of infection and has been layed up for a while. He'll be back shortly......

I still haven't heard from him. He won't respond to my emails and his shop phone # doesn't work. If anyone knows how to contact him, I'd appreciate some help. Thanks - mark

guys....

according to their website (As of 03/22/07) looks like the avincar store is closed for business. I was looking up Ken's email to ask a question.

info @ avincar .com is listed as a contact.

Maybe a mod should contact them/him to identify that if they are closed the are no longer an "official vendor" on azine?

That's too bad Ken did a great job on my install, and is a good guy.

I just purchased a pair of Genesis P-69 speakers from him. He was very quick in responding when i asked him if he had it, and made sure to send me paypal info to pay .. but then he kinda dissapeared for a week. I emailed him every day for about 3 days to find out what was going on, and he finally emailed me back saying that he had sent them already. Sure enough the next day, they did appear.

So he didn't take money and run or anything, but he does seem to be very busy or have a lot going on or something.

Also, he emailed me from a kennethaward@gmail.com address
