I know this is just going to blow up with mob mentality posts as people are pissed... its completely understandable. Ive been on the mob side as well so I know how this is going to go. But anyway, here is what I have to say. 

 

 

 

 

Tons of issues came up in life and I couldnt keep up with orders. I know thats not anyones problems I dont expect any slack to be cut on my part. I messed up and am 100% in the wrong. I had some issues a few years ago as well as some are aware of. Everything has snowballed and Im left playing catch up with highly dissatisfied customers. I never wanted that. Ive never tried to rip anyone off as Ive been here for years now... shit just got out of control. 

 

There is zero excuses for my behaviour as a person or as a business. No one should act the way I did. I love the Datsun community and have acted poorly. If youve noticed, I havent been around in quite some time. Ive got a ton of stuff going on and was trying to handle it. It obviously didnt go so well. 

 

 

 

Anyway, all items have been shipped. Im not trying to steal anything from anyone and this was the kick in the ass I needed to get going. It sucks it had to come to this, but its what happened. I have all orders shipped and Im going to take a hiatus from accepting orders for a minute. Im going to get my life back on track, work on the fundamentals of running this business, and come back even better. I love this place and want to keep supporting the community if possible. Im tired of disappointing customers lately and its frustrating. Im sure you all are frustrated as well. I took the cowards way out and didnt say anything about my issues and kept on going. Thats not the right thing. Im 100% wrong in every instance. 

 

Once Im completely sure things are correct, the business will be back. Itll be a bit, because I want to be positive I wont be screwing up. You guys dont deserve that. Im not in this to just make money, but to help you guys out with Datsun products. I wasnt doing that. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All items should be on their way at this point. If you havent received anything in 7 days, please message me and we will work out the details. Im sure there will be plenty of posts of hate after I post that, and its to be expected. I messed up big time and Im sorry. 

 

 

 

 

Edit: On a slightly lighter note, the best part of all this is that its compelled Rick to figure out how to use Facebook to harass me there as well. I got a good chuckle out of that. I dont even know how he works the computer most of the time...

Bout time you manned up and got your shit sorted!

 

How are you going with sending me the USA number plate you alluded to way back whichyou would send me?

 

Not going to bust your balls here Tristin, but, you have seriously stuffed up here buddy.

 

Ill put this out in the public fora, I sent you a selection of Hotwheels cars, and 3 sets of Aussie numberplates many years ago.

 

You pm'd on numerous occasions about RHD parts, and dash, asking if/when I would send them to you.

 

I did, per my posts to you, check on shipping costs!, though, something in the back of my mind said hold back, this dude (you) may be using me!!!

 

Quid pro qou fella.

 

I didnt bother following up with you cause,simply, I felt you were using me!!!

 

Hopefuly, current circumstances may make you wake up to yourself!

 

Adios, and, fuck you user!!

Of course not. We messaged a ton because we were friends... to be honest, that was so long ago I didnt even remember that. I actually should still have a box I made for you when we first talked about it. It has a shirt, your US plates, some military stuff from my boat since youre a contractor over there, and a "foxy Datsun" sticker. Let me go digging to see if I still have it together. 

 

 

 

Anyway, as Ive said I messed up. Only time will tell if Im on the level. Have a great night guys and see when once shit is back on track.

It takes guts to admit to you're mistakes in any forum so to that I salute you Sir. Some of you guys need to back off just a bit, the guys doing the right thing.

I'm a start a new post titled "WARNING Bluebird Garage apology forthcoming. BEWARE!!!"

I'm glad your owning up to your mistake man, I was getting shit yesterday for making the issue public I and others were having with you. I didn't make the post to bad mouth your but just to inform those who were waiting on product and let it be known to the community that we are. I don't hate you, I am a little irritated with the situation and the lack of communication lol. W/e it is you got going on I hope you get a handle on it and continue being a service to the community, I noticed as well as others youv'e been mia but we were just left in the dark. I appreciate what your doing it takes guts and I wish you the best man.

I've been in these situations here. Mainly dealing with overseas shipping of large parts. Impatient Arabs wondering why I can't overnight a truck window. And I know what it's like to get behind in life. I've had people come in to my work to try and publicly call me out for not completing their basket case project in the time they wanted it done. Only to find out the missing part is on backorder etc.

 Anyways, that's all crap. I just came in here to say I really dislike Australians.

Australians

 

I love em. Esp the women

 

We are good people.

 

We just get a little pissed when promises are made to us, and promises arent kept :mad: .

 

Anyway, it takes balls to post a public apology so kudos to Tristin for that.

 

I'd post some Aussie boobs in this thread but I need to concentrate on writing a job application.

Free datsun stuff? Who turns down free datsun stuff?

 

Apparently everybody in this damn forum! I listed a lot of stuff FOR FREE in the pay it forward topic, and no one wants it. Some of it is BRAND NEW! I swear, I can't even give my stuff away! facepalm.gif

Tristin, It's all good man. Life happens, shit happens, sometimes life throws you nothing but shit! You're a good man for owning up and apologizing, and a public apology at that, you running for political office in 2016 or something?   :P
