    For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Andrew. I have been involved in the NZ car scene for at least the last ten years. I am one of the admin for SNZ and an active member of different car forums. Over the years I have organised and run multiple trackdays and other events. During this time I have built my own race car and had dealings with many companies as well as 100’s of forum members from different forums. I have never had an issue that couldn’t be resolved until recently and think its only fair to give a heads up so that others don’t have the same problem.

    During my saga with Jack Kofoed I have run into no less than 5 other people who all have similar stories and some are still having issues.

    It all started back in March with this thread

    http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=43912

    Jack was advertising hankook slicks for sale. After some negotiating I offered to pay $400 and Id organise shipping or $440 inc shipping. Jack agreed to the later and I deposited the money on March 21st with Jack saying he would get them sent asap.

    On March 25 2013 Jack confirmed that he received the money via PM and said they were being sent asap.

    On April 10th I still hadn’t seen any sign of the tyres. Jack PM’d me saying “Guys came and picked up the tires late last week so should be with you any time now. “

    Come the 18th April there was still no sign of tyres and Jack had stopped replying to my PM’s.

    April 24th rolled around and still nothing and no contact.

    Being that I had no other way of contacting Jack, on May 1st I decided to send him a message through his facebook page as he was regularly active on there. He immediately responded apologising saying he didn’t have a computer for the last week and that the tyre shop messed up and sent the tyres back to him and not to me. He has since sent 6 tyres now (originally bought four) and they are on their way.

    May 13th – still nothing. I asked for a tracking number and courier company as well as what date they were sent. No reply.

    May 20th – Jack responds saying he has now sent 8??? And they will arrive 100% this week.

    May 28th – still nothing. I asked for tracking number or receipt details again. Again – nothing.

    May 29th “Hey bro, Was taking too long so I got them sent to Carters at the mount. So they will be there ready for pick up sometime this week. Cheersâ€

    June 2nd “Hey bro, They should be at Carters at the Mt by Tuesday. Will confirm asapâ€

    June 12th I phoned Carters Mount and they knew nothing about them. When I mentioned Jacks name they had no idea who he was either. I advised Jack of this and he responded saying “It's on a stock truck from Carters pukekohe. Will call my guy there tomorrowâ€

    June 14th – I keep asking and nothing gets replied to.

    June 25th – Jack blames Carters Pukekohe saying they know all about them and 8x should have been sent.

    June 28th – I phone Carters again and same story, don’t have a clue about what im talking about. I tell Jack this and he acts surprised and says he might just have to drive them to me.

    July 1st – no update and wont reply to my messages

    July 5th – same as above

    July 8th – obtain a cell number. Text and phone but no reply to either

    July 9th – get a new cell number from his race page and email signature, still no reply to either texts or calls.

    July 11th – I ask for an address so I can pick them up – still no reply.

    I got hold of an email address and sent him an email from my work address (@police.govt.nz) and suddenly I get an immediate reply. Jack makes excuses that he didn’t get any alert on FB about the messages (even though he has posted on that page) Again Jack goes into detail about how Carters Pukekohe sponsor him and everytime he asks they have promised they are being sent on a stock truck to Tauranga for me to pick up. Says he will go down to the store tomorrow and see whats happening.

    July 17th – I haven’t heard anything so I send another email.

    July 19th – still no reply so I sent another email.

    July 22nd – I decided to phone Carters Pukekohe and see what the story was. I spoke with the guy in charge of the race stuff and who has been dealing with Jack. He advises that although he has some of Jacks tyres there, Jack has never asked him to send them anywhere. In fact they haven’t had contact with Jack for some time since he owes Carters some money. I fill him in on my story and he isn’t surprised in the slightest, saying hes heard it all before. When I asked about them sponsoring Jack, they said they used to but that deal went sour and Jack owes them $$$$.

    After a couple of phone calls, Carters and I have managed to sort something out but I am still yet to hear from Jack. Throughout the whole episode Jack continuously blamed everyone else even though he hadn’t made any steps to actually complete the transaction that we started back in March.

    I think everyone will agree that Jack having my money since March 25th and then making no attempts to actually get the tyres sent to me is just not on. We don’t need people like this in our community and like I said right at the start, throughout this I have come across at least 5 others who have all had similar experiences with Jack.

    Not wanting to get anything out of this but just wanting to warn others of my experience with Jack Kofoed.

    A rough guideline of how the day will run (subject to change). If you have friends that are coming and driving but arent on the forums please forward this onto them.

    Sunday 7th October 2012

    08.00 - Gates open. arrive at track and report to pit garages 31 & 32 for scrutineering (furthest two garages away from track entry)

    09.30 - Driver Briefing end of pit lane(and new driver/marshall briefing)

    09.45 - Orientation/familiarisation laps and then return to pits

    10.00 - Beginners and Advanced go out separately to let beginners get a feel for it.

    - Line up in pit lane with semi open pit format

    12.30 - Lunch break

    13.00 - Drop Marshalls back on track

    13.10 - Recommence racing - open pit format.

    14.30 - Handicapped/grudge matches (if wanted)

    15.45 - All cars off track

    16.00 - Everybody out as time for track to close.

    Can everyone please arrive at the track between 8.00-9.00am so we can get cars scrutineered asap. Anyone that arrives after driver briefing will have to wait until lunch time to be scrutineered and wont be allowed on the track until after lunch.

    pit garages will be available for $50 per side (can fit two cars per side) CASH ONLY and pay me when getting scrutineered. No garages to be opened until paid for.

    NO cars will be allowed into pitlane until AFTER they have been scrutineered and passed.

    No cars in pitlane unless they are driving on the track. This means NO support vehicles or friends vehicles.

    Whos paid/planning to pay for this? Im in an definately keen, but am I going to be the only BMW out there holding it down for the boys? :o

    Dan and Richard are coming. Even if not many others come will still be a great day on the track :D

    As promised in one of my first posts, I reserved spots for Bimmersport, being that it is the end of June now they are no longer reserved and first in first served. So if anyone is thinking about coming I suggest you get payment through quickly to secure a spot.

    Cool, It just means that people cant use camber as a get out of jail free card anymore for wheel offsets.

    Its actually a good thing really, as glenn said earlier it will stop noobs lowering their cars without doing anything about corrective camber plates etc.

    What they should actually concerntrate on is spring rates vs shock stiffness .. EG too hard a spring for the shocks dampening capablity. Causing a car to bounce instead of operate as properly and dampen the impact.

    your preaching to the converted.

    I completely agree. Too many people modify suspension and have no idea how its actually affecting handling and safety.

    It will kill the hellaflush/stance movement but that doesnt really bother me at all as function>form

    ok, all spots are filled. I still have 12 spots saved for bimmersport as promised however any spots that arent paid for by end of june will be offered to other paying people. I have others waiting and wanting to come so wont be hard to sell off.

    As said in first post, if you want to get your place confirmed then get your payment through. Thanks to Richard who to date is the only BS to pay :D

    I have just received a call from Taupo Motorsport Parks CEO.

    Apparently V8SuperTourers have requested the 2nd Sept as its the only date that works in with their calender. In order for this to work it means that our date has to be changed. So i have agreed to this and the new date will most likely be the 7th October.

    I know this may be a hassle for some people as leave/accommodation etc is already organised (myself included) but in order to keep everyone happy (and the V8ST bring laot more money than we do) it had to be done.

    Hopefully everyone can still make the new date. As soon as it is confirmed I will let everyone know.

    thanks,

    Andrew
