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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
