Mini Mania is still in business, and we're doing our best to take care of everyone. We're very short-handed and as such unable to pick up all calls on the first ring, or answer emails as quickly as we would like. We try to get back to everyone, and we are working with our vendors to ensure that all orders are filled.We appreciate the support and patience that so many of our customers are showing in this difficult time.

This was passed along to me. I can't view details, but apparently part of the court docket:

Mini Mania Inc. Bankruptcy (2:24-bk-22456), California Eastern Bankruptcy Court

Don Racine is listed as a creditor.

John yes the post seems to have vanished.  I was going to call them today and update this post after I got a response. 

I have tried calling/emailing at least once a week to MM and do not get an answer either way.  At this point I will seek a refund although doubtful  that will happen.  These were small orders and I will probably have to eat the cost.  Shame.  As I pointed out in the previous now disappeared post I would prefer to go through a U.S. supplier for parts.

About a month ago I saw a post from Mini owner ajpa, he was having trouble getting help from MM, either by phone or email.  I responded in that thread. Then a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by an old friend who was trying to sort out a Weber 32/36 carb and manifold kit he recently got from MM, I suggested he call them for help but he was also getting the silent treatment.  We got it installed and working by lots of phone and text back and forth, but it seems like something the folks at MM could (should?) have done much better and quicker than he and I did.  Anyway that reminded me of ajpa's problem. So this morning I wanted to revisit his post and see if he had any further luck getting help from MM aaaannnnnddd I cant find it anywhere.  I did try the search engine,  I think the post title had something to do with orders or order desk, but its gone, nada, zilch, kaput.  I know there was at least one post response here from me to him.  I can get Google to turn up some of my old MM forum posts , but I am too dumb to figure out how to get this forum's search to find them.  Maybe some new AI software is censuring unpopular threads?  Or could it be that our hosts finally found a moderator for the forum?

Nah, its probably just me not knowing what buttons to push. Anybody know how to find your own posts?
