Eh sorry bart but that makes no sense and you have no idea what your talking about, whether your trying to look important by making out you know everything or what I don't know but il tell you this, other than this thread was started the chances of that bill being paid were slim to none, now because of all this and the amount of people that have took an interest in it the bill will have to be paid, to try get some respect back. And as well as that Niall has put up there will be drifting back in punchestown, brilliant!! But he said nothing about paying the bill, I do know what I'm talking about and have experienced it first hand with driftallstars, and 1 YEAR later I still have not been paid and neither has Wez! And believe me there are many more stories too, so until punchestown confirms that this has been sorted there is still a big problem and this thread is still important. It's easy come on here and pawn everyone off saying it's all ok guys the man in punchestown said it's all good..! I'm hearing bullshit excuses for 12 months now. It's not sorted until punchestown confirms it is sorted.
i normally wouldnt get involved in a keyboard slate of someone but ive been hearing first hand for months now that he hasnt paid up his bills to drivers etc for previous work and also gave some lads a few quid before the punchestown event so they wouldnt arrive there causing a scene looking for what their owed, pure bad form in my oponion , we all run a business but the most important thing is the bills have to be paid ! , it takes years to build a good reputation and 2 seconds to loose it and in my oponion wheather jdm come back to punchestown or any other irish venue their reputation is ruined and will be for a long time
Sorri Bart I disagree with you,
whats this any of our business he's causing us to lose one of our best tracks in Ireland that's why it's our business and if it wasn't for this thread I bet it would be put on the long finger...
and why should he explain himself, there are Ireland's top drivers like Brendan/wez that are owed money..if we don't pay entry we don't race, so if he doesn't pay winnings he shouldnt get away with it and unfortunately this is our way of making sure he won't get away with it..
And if u looked at his posts ud realise he's still talking bolox saying he sorted out Brendan when he hasn't, saying the bill will be paid Monday and he's making excuses Monday he's busy packing n bolox and if ya noticed he hasn't givin a reason why wez hasn't been paid, he's prob thinking of a excuse...
Hold on a minute now brendan. I'm not trying to look like a great lad here. I'm giving my opinion.
As I said.. DRIFTING IS CONFIRMED FOR 2013.. Driftfest has confirmation..
I know it's a cunt of a thing what Niall done and I'm with you 110% on all this.
I'm just saying let him pay bills and that's it.. As Tom said he's reputation is ruined here in Ireland and for one I was surprised you even drove at punchestown. I know Wez didn't even go near it cause of the reason..
I'm also wondering why this wasn't posted before allstars even came to Ireland??
Least people then would of known and not of even bothered going..
Drifting confirmed is great news but it still does not mean the problem is sorted, and what I'm trying to get you to understand is, if this thread did not happen he would have no intention of sorting it but because all eyes are on him now he will have to sort it. Just because drifting is confirmed does not mean punchestown should not be sorted ASAP. And as for me competing at allstars, it was marks home event and he wanted to do it, and mr gunn promised me without fail that I would be paid at the end of the event which didn't happen and of course he sent me the few quid before it to keep me quiet at the event, I was stupid and kinda believed him and now more excuses, the problem is still not solved.
I think aside from the immature stuff posted in this thread there's 3 questions that need answering without going further-
1.When will Wesley be paid in full for services provided?
2.When will Brendan be paid prize money due to him?
3.When will Punchestown race course be paid for hosting the event at the venue?
Probably in Niall's interest to have an official from Punchestown to come on and comment here in the interest of both DA and the drift community as a whole.
I'd imagine if this doesn't happen pretty soon the likes of Wrecked Magazine and such media groups will be reporting on this. It's a small island and we're not spoiled with Drift tracks, So we would like to keep the ones we have. Furk over who you wish in the UK but please dont make it harder for the Irish Drift community. I laugh when I think back to when Faruk spoke at driver and media briefing in punch and spoke to the Irish media and drivers as if they were an amateur organisation,It's funny now looking back when it turns out that DA as a business are the amateurs.
Hope this is cleared up soon.
I already said getting the track back for 2013 is main priority AND fingers crossed it'l be sorted but a word can only be taken on good faith and i have zero faith in this man.
And as i previously said and Brendan said i really really dont believe this would have been sorted so fast maybe at all if it wasn't for the huge backlash he has recieved.
So once it gets confirmed well done to all who who shared this story because without ye i'd say we'd all be in big trouble.
Your reputation been destroyed is well deserved Niall, im only surprized it took as long as i has.
Its a small island and the drift community is very closely knit with 99% on first name terms, theres shag all purpose built tracks bar mondello which im sure your well aware being Irish. DONT fuck it up anymore for the Irish lads than you already have by NOT paying everyone what there owed.
Im sure if PD european series was still going and they carried on like that in the UK there would be far bigger uproar about it from the DW crew ect.
Bar a few stupid comments by some lads on here banging there keyboardMick K Git Brendan and for once im agreeing with Pd Pan are all spot on with there comments about yourself and Drift Allstars.
Hope all drivers are sorted out of course, but most importantly for all of us pay your bill for punchestown before the likes of Wrecked magazine and OMG Drift make sure your reputation is well and truly destroyed in the eyes of all involved in drifting both here and throughout Europe!
Keep up the good work DI lads. and leave the stupid comments out to those putting them up, no doubt alot of international drift folk are taking interest in whats happening in this thread so dont make yourselves out to be immature clowns.
