Subject: Re: gtir for photo shoot

Hi Bob
We’re still having trouble nailing this date down, so it’s probably best not to get the owner to detail the car yet – I wouldn’t want to waste their time in case it falls through. I’ll keep in touch when I hear more from ######

All the best

Ben




Hi Ben

Ah right! sorry I thought the date and shoot was a definite and had been confirmed!

If it was on 29th of this month as originally stated (voicemail) it did not leave much time and obviously the chap will need some notification to leave the day free for themselves to travel down as neither cars are local to Essex.

Can you please give me an answer on this one way or another by end of the week otherwise it could come across that i'm messing them about which is very unfair.

Many Thanks

Bob

Ok Bob,
Thanks for keeping us informed. Hopefully hear something by end of week then

im gonna send you both his email addy and let you both contact him
just update the thread if it happens please

I haven't got the time to be mucked about by people and sure neither you 2 have either.
he should never have contacted me until the date and particulars were all 100% sorted grrrrr!

Not tr problem bob if you agree dave i say neither if us contact him and leave the ball in his court ?

Hey Bob, that name Ben Barry, rings an alarm bell from a few years back, seem to remember someone contacting the OC (Rishi I think) about something similar, nothing ever came of it though...

just got this back from him and looks like its deffo a goer so your email addys been passed on dave and il forward you his too so you can talk to them direct as my bits done!

sorry Darren but not you im afraid

Thanks Bob
yes totally understand. The date was fixed, but the final car has proved problematic ##### has just told me that the shoot is on hold for now and they will re-schedule. I’m happy to explain direct to the owner if you like so it looks bad on me rather than you!



Looking at the pics, the Nismo car looks amazing – that’s has to be the one, even with non-standard rims.

All the best

Ben

Just spoke to Ben.
He is going to get back to me when he has a confirmed date so hopefully not too long.
Also, he now wants all optional extras back on the car, so thats what I'm doing today!

Nice, I would like to pop down and see, I am only 20 mins away from North Weald.
Well done on getting through.

If you need oem bits to put on the car for the shoot i can help you.

Umbrella
Bumper Guard
Flare
Tow eye cover
Parcel Shelf
Standard steering wheel
standard gear gaitor
Head light covers
Oem boot badges

Thanks andy,
all i need now to make penelope complete is the passenger footrest, drivers pedals, nismo seats and nismo gear knob, but these aren't exactly the easiest things to find!
think I have everything else though

Were did you get all the rxtra's from. Did you buy them just here and there? Bet they cost a small fortune

I bought the car around 2002. Then got on the case to get every optional extra. So I have been building it up over the years. But unfortunately I always feel like my car isn't complete until I get it all!!
Got most off ebay, but then recently I have got the fog lights off bob.

Just had an email!!!!
it says..........

Hi Dave
sorry, change of plan now. CAR doesn't need the GTi-R I’m afraid, but I’m sure something will come up in the future. Sorry to mess about.
All the best


Awesome :-(

il be remembering that name in future and will booger him around big time if he ever contacts us again
