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 $.

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

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.

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
