I dunno Healy, I guess some people just find the hard up thing a bit hard to swallow when they see you posting up about all this big dollar stuff you want to buy for your rig.
Personally, my 5c is that when you sold all the good bits off the white GU you should have at least offered/ tried to sort out some of the people who had put in the hard yakka on it, and settled for something a bit more modest to punt around in, and saying you had no choice but to let the whole thing happen is weak sauce, I know if I don't want something to happen, it simply aint happening.
Also unsure as to why some peoples opinion of you on the interwebs would make you sell your car? If you know you are in the right why give a toss about what others think?

I don't feel ungrateful at all thanks very much, I'm grateful for still being in relatively good health, grateful that my family are healthy. Grateful I still have a job at the moment, grateful that the managing directors at work saw fit to freeze our wages and cut back on spending instead of making redundancies, grateful I still have a roof over our heads. Grateful for the friends I've met on here, grateful for............. oh I could go on and on
Ungrateful definitely not.
Personally, if I had received help whether it was unwanted or not, whether shit was donated or not, if folk didn't expect anything back...... I would have been doing my damnedest to pay back what I could when I could and I sure as hell wouldn't be talking about getting intercoolers or 37s or whatever until I knew I was in a position do be able to do so. But that's just me, that's the way I am. I couldn't care less what you did or do with your money, that's your choice not mine.
People perceive things a certain way because of what they see and what actions are taken.
Just my humble opinion

But weren't you sick dude ?, I can't remember the whole thing, and could have been someone elses words, but it was all sold to me as you were sick and money donated was to help to "just" get the car back on the road so you could go 4x4ing/camping etc with your family ?
I donated a small amount to the cause, because I felt sorry for your situation , at this same time I was very much struggling financially and emotionally with trying to fix my "own" car after it was rolled.
With every thing ive heard/read that has happened since, I find it hard to believe you honestly don't realise you have taken many of us for a ride with all this, im sure this was never your intention, and maybe you just went along with it all as it snowballed into something big, but now I think its obvious, its time for "you" to do the right thing, and at least refund Jason his money.
Until you make things right, you need to stop posting threads about spending more money than most of us have to play with on our own cars , as this is always going to twist the knife a little bit as far as a lot of people are concerned.

Just incase you forgot any of the finer details Healy here is a trip down memory lane for you mate
Pimp-Healy-s-Ride
I'll have a look for you tomorrow and see if I can find some of your quotes and post them here.
I will search extra hard for the quotes from you telling everyone it got out of hand and you don't need our generosity that much. I will search extra hard for the quotes from you telling Jas that he was far far too generous with his offer to match dollar for dollar the entire forum!!
If you know where to find those feel free to quote yourself with a link.
I do remember reading that your health concerns where severe and you were recovering from lung Cancer and I'm happy for you, you stated that you were unemployable though because you could not get insurance or Workcover because of the lung cancer and the blown up engine might mean your family might not be able to live under the same roof? That sound pretty full on to me!!
Nice wheels! When you sell the GU will you separate the Savannah's and 37 treps?? They are on my wish list but I'm broke and can't afford them, maybe we can do a deal?

Ok folks its time that I shut this down before it gets out of hand.
Some very interesting comments to read healy and I'm sure you know what is the right thing to do now.
