what do you all think
I think slagging off genuine Ford enthusiasts and trustworthy, helpful and well established but small business people for no good reason on a website is cuntish behaviour.

Ian at racetek is a top fella who always offers advice over the phone when he can, if he said call back in an hour then do just that

Very sorry you were disappointed in me asking you to call back in an hour. If you do call back at 12:42 I will be very willing to help you. Sorry I had other things to do at the time of your call!

Unlike some companies I can mention, at least I actually answer my phone!! Also you rang from a witheld number so I am always weary of people trying to sell me something!

I also divert my phone to my mobile when I am out and when you rang I was actually in a petrol station!

Alternatively, text me your number to my mobile and I will call you? Regarding the website issue, my latest advert in Performance Ford does not list a website so you may be looking at old magazines.

Regards

Ian

Ian

two points

I wasnt aware the my number is registering as a withheld no this has now been altered

I rang you on a business no not a mobile i am not a mind reader how was i to know that one you had your phone on dirvert and two that you were away from your landline (all you had to do was explain this)

In addition i used the forum as a feeler gauge on ractek in general something i make no appoligise for .This has revealed that you are a highly recommended firm and that will do me fine.

I meant no offence and now know that you too are a member of the site but sometime it helps to explain things


I will ring you again when i get a chance and look forward to doing business with you

Ok no problem. As a rule its always easier to get hold of my at lunchtimes and after 4pm and Im happy to take calls up to 10pm at night and at weekends. If I'd seen your number I would have either rang it back or sent you a text if it was a mobile. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Look forward to speaking with you.
