That's cool, but here is a stupid question. Is it a company that actually has parts for our cars???

Funny that the mention of 311s.org is followed by a repair blunder on an MG!

Not really. They have a couple parts but if I remember correctly (I haven't looked at Roadster parts in quite a while on that site) some of what they have shows incorrect items when pictured. Other may know better than I do if they have correct parts but there aren't much if any.

They have some parts, but you have to be aware of what you are shopping for.

You can find maintenance parts that are common to other cars: brake shoes, spark plugs, etc.
As noted above cross reference their part numbers with other sources, like the techwiki or searching past forum posts, before ordering.

Their part number search feature is very useful, sometimes more than the search based on year and model for our stuff.

One trick to placing your order is to pick parts that ship from the same warehouse to reduce shipping costs. Otherwise it may be cheaper just to go down to you local parts store.
