He certainly is.

I spoke with Gordon at length today at the GOE sand training session in Perth.

To say he's been recently dealing with some colossal crap is an understatement.

We are all part of a brotherhood people, we are all here to help each other and share the passion in our vehicles, so please lets cut him some slack and everyone please be patient.

He will get back you you all.

Sometimes bad things happen to decent folk and I think that is what is happening here. Sounds like Gordon needs to be cut some slack judging by some of the acerbic remarks about him.
I am sure that he will come through so be kind

some who have outlayed thousands of $$ would most likely think that if he has time to run training courses , he has time to reply to emails and txts . That seems to be the biggest issue from what I have read . I think all parties understand Gorden is going thru a tough time

Just adding another side to it.

I hope one for all concerned it gets sorted sooner rather than later

I have told him about this thread and the trouble you guys say you are having contacting him.He assured me he will get online over the next few days.
Please treat Gordon with the respect he deserves at this trying time.I don't believe he is the type of person to let you guys down.

I understand that he has personal issues but when you are sitting on $1000s of other peoples money it is time to man up and deal with your responsibilities. Yes, I am about as tactful as a blunt axe, that's who I am. I pay my bills and expect the same respect from vendors.

Maybe some of us local to him could volunteer some time to help clear the backlog? We have done it to help members in need of assistance previously.

Chris.
Ive offered to help Gordon out if he needs help.I also asked him to yell out if the Land Rover community can help out in any way.
I think time is what Gordon may need.
I'm sure getting out and doing the training sessions would really help him at the moment.

I have had my issue with Gordon last year and I presume that his recent personal events are the same that caused my delay. My comment is that when you are in business you are dealing with other people's money, time, personalities. Whilst I empathise with Gordon, the simple fact is he is in business. What would we think if Gerry Harvey had "personal: issues and his stores just took your money with no feed back. Would we all be so demanding of the population giving the Harvey Norman stores the same "slack" as requested here? People go into business for varying reasons. But the fact remains, that taking someones money and then no contact,email, etc is plain just poor business practice. I too have looked overseas and at other local suppliers and realize I can buy many of the GOE type items and usually at a lesser cost for same. He lost me last year, and he will be hard pressed to get any business from me again. He might be a good bloke... so was Tony Mokbel when I had dealings with him, and we all know where he is now. People have offered to help. If that is being refused then I think all the disgruntled purchasers are entitled to a refund if thats what they want.

I find it rather difficult how people keep saying what a great bloke Gordon is when he can't be bothered to respond to emails or answer his phone when a great deal of people have forked out a great deal of money. I personally like to support Australian businesses and a Australian designed product. It is not good enough. So many times in my life I have heard people make excuses for people who just don't deserve it. "He didn't really mean to hit her" "She deserved it" "The money was there so I just took It" "I couldn't help myself" When do we say to someone, "Your behaviour and attitude is unacceptable" Some will say I am being too harsh but I would have been prepared to wait for the wheels if I had some reassurance that they would turn up one day. Hopefully I will get my money back through PayPal but I still think this is an unacceptable way to behave. Maybe I expect too much.
