Nothing wrong with that first sentance, it does need to be run like a big business, because it is!
...but the second line. What would you do? If someone just poached $XXXk off you would say something about it, or would you crawl back into a cave and cry to yourself?

Then there was the anti John Hewson T-Shirts WPS backed and distributed during this interesting time in V8SA history is another example.
These two occassions called for diplomacy and tact, both were missing here which cost Mr Gore and opened him up for criticism.

For a human headline who wasn't backwards in coming forwards, he had his way of getting his point across. If he simply did everything like the run of the mill, would you still be talking about him years after the fact?

Does he owe you any money? There are remedies out there to collect what's yours... I know there are people out there who won't deal with them, but that's their perogative I guess. I could give you a list a mile long of other people involved in all facets of motorsport who don't like paying for services rendered, but this isn't exactly A Current Affair...
