I wouldn't have called Wow a blue chip company, not like they are even close to a similar level as Telstra, BHP or the banks...

But most sucky for you mate. Any chance of a partial recovery at least? I know most times a company goes into receivership creditors get screwed to the wall but they get something back at least, even if it's only 10c in the $.

they 'were' on the ASX. yes it sucks. I am trying to work an angle with the admins - not succeeding..

- enough from me for the day - going to GT auto to strip down ruzic's car and finish that off.

Also, I'd be curious to look at the whole financial situation for Wow to see what caused the collapse. I remember when ADR (parent company of Crazy Clark's) went into receivership they had just posted quarterly profits above expectations and showing year on year growth. They were a thriving, profitable business. However one of their lenders got spooked by the situation in America and called a loan for several millions of dollars which ADR were unable to meet on such short notice which caused the company to fold.

I know Wow had aprox $50 million in debt split between one of the big four (thinking NAB) and creditors but unsure past that. Can anyone enlighten me as to what caused the collapse?

My understanding is they weren't making money, they went into voluntary administration a while ago.

They owed 25 mil to one of the big 4 (ANZ? NAB?), and when they couldnt make payments they forced them into receivership on tuesday

bank was NAB. they fell over once already and got a bailout. 2nd time though NAB cried enough.

kinda what you get with 5% margins..

How much shit have you pulled out from under his dash, Habib feels like he's been to Jenny craig since you did the number on all the junk wiring under there.

Bloke is coming to look at my XF this arvo :)

If that goes, it there would be a convenient spot in the yard to park a leopard...

I'm liking the sound of that :)

Sorry mate I don't have Dazz's number anymore. Plus I think his guy is pretty strict. Just having a chat with a mate trying to sort something out for you though.

more than habib, put it this way all of his stuff is gone . he can put it back there. GT did the engine bay - I did the inside.

put it this way if someone so much as sneezes on that car he (and I) will know about it and both of us have the ability to do something about it as well.

still have to finish it off. can't seem to stay on it any more than 4 hours at a time.

wrangling PKF for money (wow audiovisual admins) seems to be pointless.. its amazing how bluechip companies can f**k up and majorly screw over everyone else in the process.. lesson learned - stick with small business.

(been a horrible two weeks and I'm slightly pissed off after losing $2500 to these fk'wits.)

i know the feeling, this is why we dont build pools for builders anymore....its amazing how many companies disappear every year.

one thing i have learnt thru all this.....shiney cars and the illusion of money in a company REALLY doesnt mean success.

yep!

learned that with SCR years ago. all of those guys were putting around in MBs and we all see where that went..

when they offered shares I passed on the idea. lots of people lost money there. same as all of those that are left holding gift vouchers for wow av.

not a happy camper.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
