Re:

I'm so so sorry I've never been through anything like this before I've had a nervous breakdown about 2 months ago all your bit's are wrapped up in the boot of my crappy car which broke down at my parents house and I will get them all out to you immediately if anyone who has a part outstanding could send me a message stating the part they're waiting for and their address as they're all parceled up but have no names or addresses on them and I don't want to send them to the wrong places.

I hope you'll indulge me for a moment by reading my tale of woe which will hopefully give you some idea why I have gone completely nuts and taken my skatyness to dizzying heights!

I've worked really hard all my life often doing two or the jobs at a time to get myself to a point where I had everything I needed/wanted and in less than a year I've gone from being in love and married and having two houses a salon a garage and a bunch of cool retro cars and bikes to having nothing but bills and bailiffs.

It started in May last year I sustained a serious eye injury the operation to save my eye left me un able to work for 3 months which meant that my classic car restoration/modification company that I'd worked my arse off to build up from the ground which had a great reputation started getting behind on it's bills and on it's work I tried to keep the bills in check by selling off my cars and bikes but that still left customers projects getting behind so I found other local companies to take the projects on but their standards weren't up to mine so I ended up paying to have these done again costing me more money and stress as the owners of the vehicles were getting more stressed too.

Then my wife couldn't take living with me while I was so stressed so she moved in with her parents causing me more stress so I was now losing the sight in one eye while trying to save my marriage and my business and down to my last car my absolute favorite but with more and more bills coming in and bailiffs at the door I resigned myself to the fact it had to go so I listed it for sale had people clambering over themselves to buy it and offering me more than I'd listed it for to sell it to them, I finally had a chance to turn things around but the day before the car is to be collected the head gasket goes! The car is now virtually worthless so no point selling it and I'm stuck.

By this point the reputation of my restoration company is in tatters because the work has taken so long and in some cases is way below my usual standard and at this point my wife decides she wants a divorce so that's one of the houses and the salon gone the garage is all but lost too I continue to sell off any of my bike bit's to try and save my home but as I haven't been paying myself for ages my credit rating is also shagged so have to sell my home too and finally the straw that broke the camels back I get myself an interview for a well paid job but it requires a clean licence the day I go for the interview I get a letter from the courts about a speeding ticket that I got last year because I'd lent my mate my car I'd passed his details on but he hadn't responded and apparently I now had 6 points 3 for speeding and 3 for failing to give info requested unsure how it happened not sure if I forgot to send the letter or missed one they sent to me but I went for the interview anyway got the job but then lost it again because I couldn't get the points removed and then my cheap run around crappy car broke down and I completely lost the plot and here we are!

Believe it or not there are even more things than that but they're the big ones anyway I hope you can all forgive me I have all your bits and there are tons of bits left if anyone wants any more than happy for anyone to pop round and have a poke through everything or as I know you guys are all trust worth I'm even happy to send bits to you and you pay me when you recieve them to help restore your faith. I hope that people that have dealt with me in the past will testify to my honesty I am skaty at the best of times and sometimes need a prod but this time is a one off and I promise it won't happen again.

My heart stopped when I got the email this morning from the captain and I realised what I'd done I'm so sorry for any stress if caused any of you.

Thanks for your time please send me a message with item, name and address. I'll get them all on their way tomorrow and send you all tracking details.

Re:

God bless you mate and my sympathy is with you. It takes balls to front up but here you are so use that as a means to get back on your feet.

Stick around on retrobike as you will find a great deal of support here.
 
Re:

Wow mate that's some series of disasters! Kinda knew from the previous good rep that something must have gone wrong. Was gonna say I'm glad there was a good explanation but actually would've been better if you were just sunning yourself on a beach somewhere, oblivious to the relative inconsequentiality of a few bike bits not reaching their destination (not to dismiss people's concerns but I'm sure they'll feel the same having read what you've been through). Hope things start to improve for you mate.

Thank you.

And I have to agree when I got that message yesterday morning I was sure that I'd have a barrage of abuse waiting for which is why it took me until yesterday evening to come on here I will get it all sorted and over the next few weeks I'll put a load of karma parts up to help restore the balance.

Thanks for being so supportive.

Staf.
