NissanPatrol.com.au new owner

[AB]

Hi folks,

It is a sad day that I announce that NissanPatrol.com.au has been sold to Automotive Plus.

We have been in discussions for a long time now and I have decided to let this place go to a company who will take it to the next step.

I'll explain more in coming days but I just wanted to say thank you for everyone's contribution and the fun times we have had ;)

Sad panda on my side, feel like crying!

Sad indeed but thanks to you AB for all your efforts with this site top bloke mate

[Cuppa]

Just as well it's April 1st or I'd have to send Jonathon around to give you a neck punch! :)

[AB]

Just as well it's April 1st or I'd have to send Jonathon around to give you a neck punch! :) I know the timing seems like that Cupps and I wish it was old mate but after a month or so of discussions we agreed an hour or so ago so I thought I would do the right thing for my friends on here first before officially handing it over.

I can't really type tonight, it's killing me to be honest!!!!!!!

[jack]

AB 20 hours and 22 minutes into the month and you come up with this.

[Bigcol]

well, it was your baby from the onset
and you have indeed done a fantastic job - to which we are all grateful for........

did you get enough to buy the 200 series..................?????

[Cuppa]

He called me Cupps!
The boss called me Cupps.
:Swoon: :)

[AB]

well, it was your baby from the onset and you have indeed done a fantastic job - to which we are all grateful for........ did you get enough to buy the 200 series..................????? Thanks old mate, if I was paid hourly for my time building this place then I would've earned $2 but I'll stick with the patrols...lol

Or maybe start a cruiser forum?

Arrrr this is killing me folks!!!

[AB]

AB 20 hours and 22 minutes into the month and you come up with this. I'm sorry Jack but this is actually true my old friend. I'll still be here, I love my Patrols mate and will continue to contribute to this awesome place we have built together!!!

[AB]

AB, seriously what you have done with this site is nothing short of amazing. All the work you have done has seen this community grow to what it is today, and thats seriously a national (even international) Nissan Patrol institution. Be very proud of what you've been able to create, as we are all very proud of this place. It will always be your baby. P.S. If this is an April fools joke I'm definately giving you a punch in the neck! Thanks Old mate, you were one of the first. Actually you, me and Fletch did the first meet up on the forum...hahaha

That was a great day mate!!!

A Mazda dealer ship in qld

[Woof]

AHHHHH bullshit mate, we are not that gullible to fall for that on April the 1st

[AB]

A Mazda dealer ship in qld Nah it's not an Australian company Roofy, they are a social media marketing company but heavily involved with cars of course.

I'll explain more over the weekend. They are a very professional company.

[Winnie]

Whoah really? Honestly I'm a bit disappointed mate. I can't believe you're selling up...
In the end mate you have to do what is best for you and your family, I know how much time you spend in the background of the forum.

[AB]

AHHHHH bullshit mate, we are not that gullible to fall for that on April the 1st Doggy....lol

Arrr mate, we had some awesome times old mate

It's killing me typing this but I'm in a position and the discussions we have had has convinced me the forum is in good hands.

I'll still be here, no stress folks!!!

[AB]

No more meet ups barbys pizza nights that sucks

[AB]

No more meet ups barbys pizza nights that sucks Nah mate they're always here!!!

[Cuppa]

No more meet ups barbys pizza nights that sucks

Thought there was gonna be a "Roofy's back on the road' pizza night at the church.

[AB]

Thought there was gonna be a "Roofy's back on the road' pizza night at the church. We can still that Cuppa, no probs at all mate.

[Clunk]

Does this mean there's some Redback Rooftop bags on the horizon???????? Bwahahahahahaha




Sad times mate but needs must I guess, hopefully the new owners keep things ticking away as they always have done and not fark things up.

[FNQGU]

I've gotta say it, and I do wish you all the best and understand that these sorts of decisions are not easy, but FARRRK!! I just hope this doesn't turn into another case of the big marketing boys coming in over the top and changing the formula to make more money etc etc.

I have not found another forum that holds a candle to the feel of this one. ie. a good bunch of Aussie blokes (and ladies), with a few Poms and the odd kiwi etc. etc.. all talking trucks and camping and whatever pretty freely and with good mateship and respect for the rules. I really hope this isn't the beginning of change for the worse.

But seriously AB, your running this has been great and you deserve the reward for all your hard work. Hopefully we can educate them and they actually have an interest in what we are about instead of just $$.

Please say it's April Fools...

[Avo]

SO does that mean you can get on with making these ROOFTOP bags now........
and yes i am sad to......thought when i shook your hand i felt a little bit of love.....hope it's true and we meet again sometime

[Woof]

Bloody hell mate, just been researching your bullshit and discovered that there is an international company that has a few sites and forums that are off road vehicle related.
Not really impressed that they also run a few landcrab forums but it looks to me that you are legit, this has been a great place mate and I want to thank you for starting it and wish you all the best for your future.

[Bloodyaussie]

Who will be moderating now.... ?

So will the place degenerate to the level of other forums or will it stay the same.

[Woof]
