  • Clearing things up!!! Please read!

    Hey everyone,
    I just wanted to write a quick post in response to some rather upsetting information I've recently been made aware of. This is in regards to the whole "Turbo blowing up" post that was in the forum last week. First of all, a lot of you don't know me very well however there are certainly a few of you that do. I want you all to know that I would NEVER place a call to SCFC or any other dealership for that matter in regards to what is posted on these forums. Even though I don't always agree with what is said, my thoughts do not extend beyond this forum. I've always tried to defend dealerships and VW. I can admit when we are wrong and I've always tried to help. Ask Andrew (Gaffer). I did what I could on my end (not service related) to keep Andrew as a 5th ave customer. I don't know if it helped but I tried none the less.

    I was actually quite excited about this summer as I had thought about becoming a bit more involved in the club. I don't however want to feel like everyone thinks I'm a snitch of some sort. I guess I wasn't in the greatest of moods that evening and the original post didn't sit well with me, but I can assure you that all I did was post my thoughts on the forum, nothing more!!!

    Cheers
    Derek

    Thanks for making that clear Derek and we always value your opinion and dealership perspective. I apologize if you felt any distrust from the forums and or members I think the whole situation got a bit carried away. I would love to see you out at more events this year too and maybe a ride in that hot GTI of yours

          Thanks for clearing that up. I know that someone had the nards to call SCFC. The rumor around town was it was you because of the comment made and my reply. I know through your reputation that your a stand up guy. I didn't think you did it. Anyways, it's in the past now. Let's keep it that way Hopefully we will cross paths this summer and we'll have a beer or two..

            Honestly Derek, the thought of you dropping the dime on NVD members never even occured to me until reading your own post! LOL.... Don't fret man, it's all good.

                      Although I never knew about anyone phone SCFC, if I did hear about it you would be the last person I would have thought to do so. I can see where you are comming from since VW signs your cheques but I also know you are a car guy so you are split between the 2 worlds where VW doesn't want to find a middle ground. Now if we so find out who phoned he should be linched for not minding his own business

                        Derek, all those posts just made me realize (and many others I'm sure), that we are all a bit naive, and vulnerable on the boards....I think its great having VW employees here, and didn't question the fact that you would do anything, just that someone could do something.......You weren't blackballed after this were you??/

                            this is true but sometimes its good to vent too..

                            i complained about body work and a shop here in town viewed my posts phoned me and had me come right back in to 'make it right' as i sorta bad talked them but yea in the end we now have the warranty forum for paid members so its all good
