"I suspect that Robert has given up on this forum after all the trouble which is a shame."

A real shame indeed and we all can’t understand why??
I have sat back in amazement for quite some time and tried to figure out what the purpose of this thread and others like it might be but unfortunately there does not seem to be any constructive result anywhere to be seen. All I have seen is an extremely irritating individual who has had his agenda’s promoted and fuelled by forum members who hid behind Oliver’s skirt, loaded the bullets and then probably had the hide to rubbish him after he has shot them. At least Oliver did not stand behind anyone else and however misdirected and unreasonable I may think that he is, at least he said what he thought for himself and copped the appropriate responses.
What I have seen is an unfortunate degradation of the forum with some of the most enthusiastic supporters disappearing from sight. Is it just a coincidence that Hershel has not been seen for awhile?? I hate assumptions, someone please let me know if he is still on holidays. (I hope so). And now that we have had a minute or two to think about it has anyone worked out why Robert doesn’t bother with this thread. Not to mention the others who probably don’t even bother any more.
The way I see it, if you want to know how you car is going, talk to your dealer directly. Most of us are not interested in the RF delivery schedule. Do you see any for CAV, ERA or others?? If you do not get a response then maybe you need to ask yourself why. If there is a ‘real’ problem that the forum should know about than there is an area called consumer watch. Otherwise what I really like to see is the photo’s of the respective cars in the builders forum when they arrive and through there build or if you are lucky enough to have photo’s of your car at the factory, start your build thread now. I am also sure that any build questions will be welcomed and answered in the RF area if and when Robert and Hershel get back on board and certainly by other experienced RF owners.
I am an RF customer, I have had large amounts of money (For me)in the hands of people that I really did not know from a bar of soap, I have had some expectations go by the wayside but thankfully I also run a business and I know how hard it is to please everyone especially when things don’t happen as planned. But more importantly I am reasonable and now as I have progressed through my build our relationship and the support from RF has been second to none. They have certainly repaid for any inconveniences that now seem a distant memory and I am sure that they will continue to provide the support long after my build is finished.
My suggestion to all of the RF owners or future owners is to end this thread, don’t ever start another one like it again, ignore the shit stirrers, and make it a priority to build a relationship with your RF contact or dealer because in time you may just need a little bit of help from them. In the case of the US customers I hope that my assumption about Hershel is wrong but if not it may be a case just deserves for a small few and an injustice for the rest.
I would finally like to clarify that I am in no way connected to RF other that being an owner and I will not be dragged into justifying my opinion or pointing fingers at individuals other than obvious as mentioned above. This is my view from the sideline so you can take it or leave it. If this has offended anyone than maybe they have a conscience.
Looking forward to getting back to the forum experience that we all enjoyed in the past.
