the car is already registered under your name. it is yours. you should take ownership of the project, not ZTH.like tom said, it is up the good samaritan to judge that if the car should belong to me .
this is what myself and other forum members are saying when we wrote "don't hide behind Tom/ZTH".
it is YOUR project.
once again, this is YOUR project because you suggested it from chassis to engine to what you want to do with the car.although the project is slow, you have to be wary that i am not from kl. i could only ring up or sms people to hope that they will start doing their job. if they are slow, i cant push them, after all they are sponsors, i need to respect them and rather wanting them to throw my project off the street. please look at this perspective
take a step back and think why has it been slow? distance is only an excuse.
have you ever thought that your proposal was weak or too unclear that sponsors and donors are confused? forum members highlighted this many times but you went to hide behind "Tom say ok."
it is your project, STOP pushing it to others.public donations were created because i told tom, that some forumers had suggested so. with that, i asked tom and he approved it. it is generally his website. it is wise that i do what i am allowed to do, within the limits set by him. if you think that is wrong, please address it to him. i only proceed to do it, because, ultimately, like it or not, it is his website and i agree the forum doesn't belong to me, but i appreciate you know that zth has been run on costs borne by tom to keep it running. so if anything, he has the say , even to pull the plug, hoep you will respect what he has to say. i never dragged him, merely asking permissions, he has the right to say no, but he has allowed me otherwise.
sponsors don't move, donations are slow = you blame others.
people question why you want public to invest more than 90% in your project = Tom say ok.
EVEN if Tom decides not to let you use ZTH as an avenue to solicit donations and look for sponsors, does the car belong to Tom?
it is YOUR project so please stop pushing every thing to others and take real ownership.
this is why pimpin asked if you had a plan.there are many ways to do a charity run. however, ultimately, if the car is not complete, nothing is concrete. only with that, we can move on to the next step, charity.
if you can only give such vague answers, do you think potential sponsors and donors will have confidence in you?
if you are a sponsor and some guy comes to you with this project without proper RoI and unclear goals, will you invest?
calling and sms-ing sponsors every day or every hour means nothing if you have a crappy proposal.
you cant even convince forum members who had asked specific questions, do you think your sponsors will sponsor you based on your passion alone?
they are registered entities and companies and probably some of them have their accounts audited.
how are you helping them to justify sponsoring you in this project? like i mentioned before, you have no racing background and no street cred in rebuilding cars.
why should they sponsor you an RB26DETT when they can sponsor someone else with a better proposal or better motorsports background?
should people just quietly listen to you and throw money/parts at you just because you tumpang ZTH name? is this fair for ZTH? this is what we are saying.
if you still think that people are responding this way just for the sake of disagreeing, the posts would be much shorter and the thread would have been locked for excessive flaming.
you don't have to detour to countries and wars and whatnot.yes, everyone has opinion, thats why countries exist, wars happen, no one can ever be satisfied. everyone has a say on how a country should be run. i dont want to rub u the wrong side, but i ask permission to do everything within my scope. thats how i should comply, being a paid personnel.
you are right that you had asked for Tom's permission to allow you to open threads and solicit for funds and parts.
however, it still doesn't mean that it is a ZTH project. it is very much, a private project.
take ownership, and show real transparency not only in the collections but on what is your project plan and why should people donate and sponsor.
passion doesn't pay salaries and neither does it guarantee RoI.
this is the reality that you have to face, no matter how convincing youtube videos can be.
