Yes the Thread announcing the launch was hi - jacked and I guess that is the option that users and Forum participants have.

Whilst I will personally support the gang at Absolute Pace and highlight both their professionalism and readiness to help me and other customers - there are now well over 100 - I understand a customer may not be happy with their experience.



However, can you really criticise a business or business owner who steps in to assist in bringing in a car that was purchased from another seller.... yes you are reading right, not Craig's customer..

Is it really reasonable to call Customs costs, Import Duty, GST etc. as payments to that business when it is passed onto the Statutory authorities as charges - money paid to the business or owner and forwarded immediately to those authorities. In this case the Statutory charges and costs forwarded by Craig prior to even getting the money in.

I am a bit "tuffer" as a businessman than Craig, as I would have politely told a customer - that was not mine - to make their own arrangements in importing their car and then modifying and complying that car themselves. Mmmm but Craig stepped in to help it appears.

Craig certainly has lots of orders and work and I cannot understand why he would be assisting another sellers customer. His call and well done in trying to do the right thing.

Anyway well done Craig in offering assistance to the buyer and advising, shipping etc.

Some you win some you loose.

Cheers
Bernie,

The above really is all here-say and none of our business frankly.
Im sure the both of them are big boys and will sort it out off the forum amicably.

In the mean time, I'm more keen to see the pics of those cars you mentioned
C'mon man post some pictures. Those with young families who can't attend are dying to see what's going on up there.

Thanks

He's definitely in love, not sure whether he is actually a prisoner though

Pace cars looked great, but would have loved to have seen a finished car up and running as the title of the thread suggests. Not really a debut, but the kit is very impressive in the flesh.

PS. I thought a customer was someone who has paid money for a service and\or product. What would I know though, Im just a teacher.....

Hi Tenrocca

I think my humour was lost - I was talking about engaging with hijackers...
