CULT LEADER EXPOSED

martynwhiteley · 24 Jul 2003

Not sure if it's true but....

There's a rumour going around that Glastron have taken new American marketing strategies to another level.

They have hired a well known 'cult leader' to infiltrate the boating world of user groups and forums, win their trust, and gradualy brain wash them into buying no other boats that Glastron.

Oi! I saw that /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif My Glastron is just a stepping stone to a bigger boat, but at that budget you are very limited in choice /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

I have some of my 'advertising budget' left so pop down for a spin sometime /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Cheers,

Pete
Soon to be Chairman of UK Glastron GS209 Owners fan club (number of members 000001) /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Thanks Pete, I might just do that, and if you want to break your journey 'up-north', stop off somewhere between Leeds, York, and Hull and we'll organise a NE district forum meet.

Come and try my 1.7 as well, then you know you'll want diesel next /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

At £150 a week in fuel, a diesel is looking VERY tempting /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif Or I could just stop getting experience and sit in the marina /forums/images/icons/wink.gif Come down any time, PM me first as would have to juggle round some safety kit to get you on /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Actually Pete, let's make it the 'Glastron and Birchwood' owners club. We're held in about the same esteem by other forum members.

Well done Alistairr.

The answers no...... if it is a 'nice' one !!

But we'll think again if your topsides are pop riveted to your hull, and the wiring looms are fastened with sellotape /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Stop asking me questions, then it won't get blocked up, questions should really go by PM, this is NOT a chat room /forums/images/icons/wink.gif (creeping to Kim) I will keep quiet now, I think I have reached my days quota /forums/images/icons/wink.gif Is that the toaster I smell warming up? Phew just in time /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Are you all right Martyn?

Have you been taking happy pills or something?

Judging by the reply you just gave Scott about his Vdrive post, and the replies on this post, I think you may be under the influence of something!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought my V drive response was perfectly professional, surely you mean the 'gas pipe' one about exhausts instead!

No I'm just sat in a strange office, covering for one of my managers who's at his son's graduation (Not that that's relevant), and have done all the work I brought with me, but need to man the phone.

And when I get bored, my mind starts to play tricks on me /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

MedDreamer · 24 Jul 2003

What about Bayliners? (It is a nice newish one though)

We could be the "Crap Boat" club or putting it another way "More Sense than Money"

<hr width=100% size=1>Martyn

martynwhiteley · 24 Jul 2003

Yes, to be a member, you not only need to own either an Americal 'lake boat', a Birchwood, (or an Admiral), you need to be either a Yorkie, or a Jock.

Something we share with the Jocks, eh Martyn, 'more sense than money'

Perhaps it's just - S of Watford Boat=90% Beer=10%

N of Watford Boat=10% Beer=90%

Alistairr · 24 Jul 2003

Hey Martyn,, You know my boat is American, A Lake boat, AND YES I'M A JOCK , But yet you said NO!!!! YOUR on the laid back pills today.

By the way you are correct, i meant the exhaust post not the v drive post.
