It amazed me how quickly some members of the car tuning community jumped on the bandwagon, deliberately stirring up the situation and turning it into a media frenzy, its akin to villagers coming out with pitchforks and burning torches hunting us down without giving us a chance to sort this, give our side of the story, make amends, carry out an internal investigation and disciplinary action if required.
Yesterday evening and through the night in a bid to minimise damage we had to delete and block several liable posts and posts containing bad language and threats from our facebook page, in this mass cull we may have deleted some members by mistake, if this is the case please E mail us direct to reinstate your profile.
Lets boil this down to its core, there is footage that we were not privy to posted on the Daily Mail on line web site, this footage seems to show a car being driven up our lane at 19 MPH, its alleged that the driver was deliberately aiming for pot holes when its clear to see that he tries to swerve avoiding as many as possible but due to the recent wet weather the lane is riddled with them making it impossible to miss them all.
Some audio is recorded showing the two lads having some sarcastic banter between them not knowing that they were being recorded, what else does it actually show ?, if the owner thinks we have done wrong the we openly apologise to him.
Our employee who has been with us for 15 years and is a very valid member of staff has tendered his notice as of yesterday requesting that I don't sack the passenger as he wasn't driving.
This witch hunt based on one employee allegedly overstepping the mark just the once has jeopardised every ones job here at the clinic and my life's work, if the community thinks that is fine then so be it.
This morning several messages left on our answer phone were listened to, they range from nasty to funny, a few nasty Emails too I do hope the perpetrators of these messages feel so much better after leaving them.
A big thanks to all our supporters and their kind words by E mail, forum posts and direct contact.
Onwards and upwards.
Kev
