Well, do I ever feel a little vindicated in all of this, or what....!?
So, it is important to understand - now that the jury is truly in on Andrew Garcia and his scaly dealings - that all I ever wanted to do was warn people about this guy after I got burned - NOT burn him more - as suggested! (He does that pretty well on his own.) I can honestly say - I told you so! This thread was ALWAYS about that warning folks and here we have it!
Without disclosing any details on Andrew's ousting from Vick Autosport (by his own financial partner), suffice it to say that it was less than amicable! The guy is a ****ing scumbag and this comes back to my initial caveat to everybody that I could reach (after he screwed Dawie and I on the gearboxes and other parts!) Let's not forget that in his vehement post to his own defense, he made a very explicit commitment to Jes (and to others here), that he would fix it!
Jes himself posted on 11/20/07 - stating that he had spoken to Andrew personally the week before and that Andrew had promised that shipping of Jes' (prepaid) gearbox was eminent! It's been 5 months - STILL NO GEARBOX FOR JES (or a repair for Colin!)
That aside now - he has just about screwed Robert Vick out of a beautifully cash-flowing, positive little venture down there in Texas. As stated before, Robert Vick is a VERY nice, honorable, honest and hardworking guy who treated me very well during the week that I was out there last year. I honestly believe that he had nothing but the best of intentions and he gave Andrew Garcia a sweetheart opportunity!
Leave it to Andrew to bollocks it all up! Robert's staff had to be rounded up after a virtual walk-out over Andrew and his dealings. There are talks of coffers misappropriated, parts inventory raided over a weekend, unpaid vendor bills and maxed-out lines of credit - all thanks to Andrew Garcia! Fortunately Robert Vick has personally stepped back in, guaranteed credit, and has started making pay-downs himself!
Like I said, the man is solid and so is Vick Autosport (now that Andrew Garcia is out of the picture!) It may take some time for them to recover financially, but now would be the time to support that business like never before please!
