Cash
I didn't get my full wage though, which is why I wouldn't be too happy to see Pete about.

I haven't seen Pete in ages. I remember at PVS the first time I went... I went to the PVD stand and asked Pete if I could speak to Pete because he said he wanted to sponsor my car. Pete said Pete wasn't there today

I then went back to speak to the people at CS and they all said that I had just spoken to the one they call Pete.
It was funny because I saw him at Max Power when he was flogging filters.. He always seems to look a bit shy when people look at him now...

so would you if you'd lost 100s of people's money
like Daimo said, it was all wasted on luxuries, Pete had 3 cars, Vicki had 3 cars and a bike, they both had expensive houses, pete had several £600 jackets and the unit wasnt exactly a cheap shitty one
I remember when Paddy from M-Tech refused to send conversion kits til Pete payed him, then when he got the cheque, he drove from Holland to Northampton with 12 kits, in his C20LET Corsa C

According to Vicky when the conversion kits weren't coming over from Holland it was because M-Tech were fucking them over not Pete fucking M-Tech over. I wish I still had that u2u

There was so much bullshit we had to dish out. I nearly got fired for telling someone the cheque hadnt cleared with the supplier
Shame really, I liked it there, would have been great if it had worked

It was a good company, sold lots of cool stuff. Apart from Zender bodykits. I wanted an M-Tech conversion kit. So much better than the Cossvaux thing I ended up getting for fuck all

Actually, the M-Tec issue WAS down to M-Tec not having made enough kits..
M-Tec sold on a "you buy, we deliver, not we devlier, then invoice you" type thing.
Vicki had the Astra, the Corsa and her bike.
Vicki only took her wage, everythign she bought, SHE BOUGHT from her own money. As i say, it was Pete with the sticky fingers, the fleet of cars etc. Vicki was un-aware of what was going on.

She knew what was going on.
And the M-Tech thing was to do with Pete not paying them, I had to ring Paddy about 5 times about it.
Vicki had a Vx220 as well. and all of them had private plates. she also had a grey corsa gsi, which no-one knew about.

ok, not many people knew then, when it was in the pvd warehouse, if anyone asked, vicki would deny it was hers. that was near the end though, so maybe she just didnt want the liquidators to know.

No, shes didn't. I know you worked there, but do you know everything that goes on between your managers at your current job?
Pete was very secretive, he hid a lot of things from Vicki. Im not saying Vicki didn't have nice cars etc, but she paid for them from HER money, not PVD's money, she paid from her wages.
Pete would use his wages as you say to buy £600 coats, 3 of them and he had no money left... He then just dipped into PVD to pay for everything.
Theres a lot more to it than a lot of people know. I know you say you ahd to ring up Paddy, but you only worked there for a few months, and this issue went on for a couple of years
And lots of people knew about Vickis GSi...
Vicki wanted a VX220 after Donna said she wanted a VX220 turbo. Few months later, Vicki turned up in one
I wouldn't have trusted Vicki to save my life, but shes a nice girl really. Even if she did fcuk over a few blokes in the Corsa circle.

I'm sure my ex Danielle still keeps contact with Vicki, I could ask.
Vicki was a manager at Gap, but her senior manager recently got done for touching a young child whilst baby sitting with his gay lover

PS, Vicki used to beat Pete up as he was such an arse to the girls sometimes if he didn't get his own way.
Many a time D came back with a storey about a row while she was up there at the weekend and Vicki had just belted Pete one. I think if memory recalls, she actually made him cry one day....
Always worth a laugh that one...
