Just think they would answer a question or two that people have. He did reply several times, he did also abuse those who suggested advice. Edit: Damn, HSV beat me.

QUOTE(SUSPCT @ Apr 2 2008, 11:13 AM) [snapback]1282128461[/snapback] you didnt mention the statements made that the car was auctioned and was it auctioned for only the monies owed? Did the owner of your workshop buy this car at the auction ??? Who is the owner of the car now? the original guy or the owner of the workshop who did the 7-11k worth of work? if you auctioned it would the 'right' thing to do get the highest amount possibel for the car take your 7-11k minus the repayments made already and give the rest to the OWNER? its a shame that ppl these days claim to be ripped off yet ask for everything and not give in return behind every truth lays a lie,or some shit.

LATEST POST ON CRUSING BRISBANE: QUOTE(Digital Emu @ Apr 2 2008, 01:39 PM) [snapback]919286[/snapback] This thread was moved to the bin to give Matt a chance to do a reply for it. Yes, the allegations are serious, but as a lot of people have said, there are 2 sides to every story. Matt penned a reply this morning and had one of the guys here at post it up in boost, in response to the thread in there.. Here is that reply. (Changed the top bit to make sense for CB) ******** Manager. In response to the post by "sofast" ,yes it is true he did bring us the car asking for cooler pipe work. But upon inspection it was found that there was lots more work to be done as the motor was only put back in by him and his mates and lots of things where not finished off all of which take time to rectify, true?? Firstly the gearbox was stuffed and stuck in gear so it was agreed to remove the g-box and it was now that we found no spigot in the crank for the gear box and the gear box needed some work. Secondly the engine hit on his new carbon bonnet so we suggested the engine be lowered due to the hight problem with the RB30-25 head combo ,good idea before making cooler pipe work ,agree??. Now I must mention at this stage we had received several phone calls, and I mean several not just one , from businesses who had dealings with the customer warning us he was trouble and a non payer, but hey he seemed like a good guy who was just trying to get his car going so we ignored the warnings , our first mistake. The Autobahn Dyno Day was coming up and the customer wanted to compete right or wrong so I said to the customer the car needs a lot of work done including a g-box rebuild, fuel system etc to compete reliably. So an agreement was met where we would get the car going for the dyno day and he could pay us off as he did not have all the money upfront, second mistake ??. The following weeks up to the event the customer was in our shop every day watching our mechanics work on his car and EVERY day the customer would ask to see the invoice and I would show him when it was updated daily. At NO stage did the customer say stop work or dispute the invoice, in fact if any one was concerned it was me because there where more and more things needing to be done and as a business we had to carry the cost of parts & labour until the customer could pay us off, how many shops do that ??. So to cut a long story short at this stage every one was happy the customer was getting his car done and hopefully we where gaining a loyal customer with a nice car to spread the good word about our business. However due to the customer not getting the g-box back to us from someone HE took it to. It was not ready in time for the Dyno day, well no g-box no fun even though our part was complete just needed tuning. It was decided there would be other dyno days so we went on to other work waiting on his g-box to be returned from his repairer. It was not long after that the repayments stopped coming and he started disputing the bill, it is now I will mention that if the customer had still paid the repayments the car would have been back to him long ago and every one happy. It was now all the stand over crap started and he was trying to get his car back with out paying, we received death threats, begging, solictor's letters you name it. He has tried even ringing the police saying we stole the car. At the end of the day we have tried to end this quickly by trying to get him finance , giving him discounts etc but still nothing from him but threats and this post on this forum is just another attempt to hurt us and get his car back without paying for what he owes. It is quite simple all work must be paid for before the car goes . Anyway you guys will decide on what is true etc but this is my only response and I just wanted to have my say and tell it how it really was. Cheers Matt Simpson As I've said, I know this story personally, and have seen the job cards signed by Jamie, the owner of said car. I have been in the ******* workshop when Jamie has been here and have personally seen and heard him talking with Matt about the car. I have also seen documents signed by Jamie, stating that he is Happy and Satisfied with the offer/quote. Matt is more than willing to show anybody these documents to clear this up and has asked me to make a full post with them. My personal take on this is that either a.) "sofast" is Jamie himself posting as a disgruntled customer or b.) "sofast" is someone that has only heard half the story and has decided to risk defemation of character and slander lawsuits by posting what he has. Either way there are a lot of half-truths and lies in what's been said and Matt WILL be speaking to a lawyer about it. |

If the workshop holds his car to ransom, I think that is fair enough.. so long as they don't auction it off without going through the proper legal proceedings first. |

hmmm, just read all 14 pages, not good, and I don't think it matters who is telling the truth, this can do no good for the business and I think everyone that knows which shop it is or was PM'ed and told the shop name will reluctantly go there now, even if all this is lies.....its a big thread and has had a lot of views. |

Well you just solved the mystery right there! JAMIE owns the car, i assume from that post if JAMIE pays the 11k he will get his car back am i correct?????? because you said they only retain until work is paid for.... |

That's the bottom line, Mark, yes. ******* want this chapter closed as much as Jamie does. And looking at this paperwork now, the figure of 11k is a one that Jerry is confused by. The total figure outstanding right less than 5 grand.

Does the owner know that he is still welcome to take the vehicle once paid for? because whats getting around seems as if predator is keeping the car in lieu of payment. He does, yes. And yes, I'm actually looking at paperwork with Jamies sig on right now stating that he (Jamie) is "Satisfied with the offer" ******* is keeping the car in lieu of payment... I.E Jamie won't get his car till he's paid. |
