New Guy at ABSOLUTE PACE
 
Some hot news !

Craig White has managed to coax a certain GENTLEMAN out of semi-retirement...and is wanting him to be the Marketing/P.R. man for the business.

I think that he'll be perfect for the job, he's not only an ABSOLUTE ( See what I did there?) GENTLEMAN, but he's also a genuine "Cobraholic" , with a real passion for the industry.

He will be doing his very best to help continue and hopefully improve the already outstanding reputation of the brand...and he's looking forward to dealing with everyone in his usual intelligent and charming manner.

In my opinion.....
Craig's kicked a goal here !!

Congratulations to Craig on the continued success, as this business continues to evolve and improve.

Kind Regards,
Warren BOYLAN,
Marketing Manager,
Absolute Pace.

So......Do you get a company car, maybe a Pace 427?

Wazza 11-19-2014 01:00 AM

Of course I do...
1/18 scale !....
Cheers

What a great strategic move which should pay dividends for AP.

Did you buy a new suit for the new job?

Dimis 11-19-2014 02:15 AM

Congrats

But it's got to be asked... What happens to that ls7 charged Harrison?
I mean, i don't think the guys at GM let their marketing managers get around in a mustang.
:p

Dimis 11-19-2014 02:17 AM

Haha. Deano beat me to it.
Darn kids. Lol

Gone racing................
 
After Wazza gets a new Pace demonstrator to drive, he can then turn that silver beast into his new and improved replacement race car for track only work. :JEKYLHYDE:eek::LOL:

I know,
I might have to find a good home for her soon.....

It's a bit of a head spin....all that effort to get it just "right"...such a sweet car,but I've already had 25,000 Kilometres of fun.

Just gotta find someone with a few bucks, who appreciates how much I've put in to making it , and likes the way it looks.

Things have a way of working out....we'll see what happens.
Cheers

That's great news Wazza! Congratulations. To you AND Absolute Pace.

Definitely a good move. Helps spread the load, giving AP greater presence in the market while allowing even more focus on customer service and production.

Well done! Another huge leap forward for mankind...

guye 11-19-2014 03:45 AM

Oh, and how many of you thought that I'd joined AP? ��

Congratulations on your engagement, have you love birds confirmed a date yet.

Donunder 11-19-2014 06:54 AM

Wazza congratulations on your appointment. It's obvious that the next move for Absolute Pace, now that they have a Marketing/PR guru on board, is to take their product to the international market. Your role will be demanding enough intially but I see it expanding exponentially and you'll need a PA -me- to help you keep up.

Let me check my calendar and, oh yes, lucky, I happen to be available for ALL of 2015, so I'm suggesting showing a couple of cars at SEMA and the Cobra annual event at London Ohio as a start. We should also pay a courtesy visit to those guys at Provo Utah just to let them know there's a new kid on the block who'll be taking no prisoners (it's only fair to warn them after all), and if time allows we probably should try to get to the historic racing at Laguna Seca and the Run'N'Gun at Madison Illinois. Be nice to see a race-prepped AP stitching up those Yanks. Just thinking aloud here but I wonder if Sneaky could arrange to be there for track duties? He seems to spend half his time in the US these days. Bernie could be over there too so we could organise a social get together with Hersh and the boys, just so it's not all work and no play, know what I mean?

I'd strongly suggest we have a presence at the Goodwood Festival of Speed too (can you imagine two young buxom rosy-cheeked English ladies sitting in our cars? Just a sec.... OK I'm right now) and we can be back in time for the Nationals if we don't spend too much time at Lord March's place afterwards, although we might be roped into his Racing XI versus the Lords' Taverners XI cricket match. Never mind. How's your googly working these days?

With our PM signing the free trade agreement with China we should try to fit in a quick visit to Cameron over there, and of course Geoff's still in Dubai. Nice to be able to tap into some existing networks straight off. China and the UAE, should be the odd sale there you'd reckon. Don't want to stretch the friendship with either of these blokes though, they're both pretty busy -- Craig might have to offer to sling 'em a freeby after the first 100 sales.

Got a few ideas for 2016 as well but enough for now mate. Have your people call my people and we'll talk, yeah?

Donunder 11-19-2014 07:02 AM

Double post.

Lexluther 11-19-2014 12:16 PM

Congrats Wazza
A much needed position for the company. Maybe it will give Craig some free time as well.
As the new AP PR manager, can you please give me a call. ( Craig will have my mob number)

Cheers
Kent

Hope you got a "Company car" :-)

Melbourne AP Demo model, the one with a heater :D:D

Congratulations on finding gainful employment Wazza but what's the Logan bowling club team going to do for entertainment now? Good move for both of you. :3DSMILE:

This would be an awesome move for AP!

In my opinion(not that it means much:)) I have thought this from the first time I went to PACE and saw one sitting side by side to a Kirkham.

Good luck with your future endeavors guys! Not that you'll need it!;)
