Funny Car Buyers

Mike Piercy · 06 Feb 2004, 22:10

Apparently there are a few people who ordered funny cars (autographed or otherwise) who have yet to receive them from the USA.

For your information these were not offered by ordered via this site.

In trying to sort this out we have been in communication with Bill Nychay of KnockOut Talent who told us:

"Here's the deal, we will now NOT be trying to get these autographed because of all the delays. I don't need the stress by trying to do something good. We will give the few people that did order a full refund OR they can still get the cars unautographed..................its been a hard deal trying to pin it all together to make this happen............We are in no way trying to scam anyone and its beyond me where this got all messed up".

Bill e-mailed again tonight our time to say:

".............it was originally no problem and easy to do, but its gotten to
be a nightmare.........we did this deal and at the time it was easy to get
everything done, but the delays have gotten people a little nervous, there
are only about 10-15 people who ordered the autographed, if they still want the cars no problem, or refund, let them know. Either way is fine with me at this point.

So there we are, the choice is yours as they say, hope this helps you to decide what to do. Contact Bill to give your decision.

Although I didn't order these items - I distinctly remember them being "offered" through this site - Their sale was actively encouraged via this site.

and just for the record I hope the refunds include the triple payments he has taken for a single item.

I cannot figure out for the life of me why he hadn't contacted the purchaser directly to explain or ally their fears after so much time had passed, and waited to be formally chased before offering an explanation.

ROSIE · 06 Feb 2004, 23:06

I must add that I ordered my car through the OIFC link my main concern was an email received from Bill in December saying he was going to get straight on the phone and sort out the refund for the triple payment. He then did not answer any emails from me until a week ago when he promised to send the money through Paypal. As of today I have asked for all my money back and to forget the car. I think I may have more chance of a trip to Mars then him paying up. 10th street have said they will look in to it but nothing from them today :o :o :o I am annoyed as OIFC is an official site and I do think the link should be suspended until all monies are paid.. But that is my opinion only :o :o :o :o

These cars were not offered by mlukfc.com or the MLUKFC.

There was an advertisment with contact information: http://www.mlukfc.com/site/article.php?sid=148
We never encouraged these car sales.

ROSIE · 07 Feb 2004, 00:15

I have just had an email from 10th street, all the refunds should be received by the middle of next week. Please let me know if this does not happen

Rosie

ROSIE · 07 Feb 2004, 11:27

I have recieved a third of the money let's wait and see.

Rosie

ROSIE · 07 Feb 2004, 18:52

Finally after a little more thankful intervention the rest of my money has been refunded over $220 in total. Thank-you to everyone that has helped and suppoted me with thisI am off to get measured for a space suit

Rosie - I am so relieved for you - thats a HECK of a lot of money!!!

ROSIE · 07 Feb 2004, 19:09

Oh yes and I'm off to the shops

Rosie

PS the old git is happy too

Eva · 07 Feb 2004, 19:29

This car is a nice but very expensive thing. MEAT sign it for me in Munich last October:

Coppertop · 09 Feb 2004, 20:51

I just want to know if Meat Loaf is aware of any of this. ?!?! I hope he would never leave his fans so disappointed. I am devastated that I won't be getting the car with his autograph. It would have been my boyfriend's most valued possession. I think Bill should take a vacation until he gets unstressed. I agree with Sin, the way this has been handled is appalling. And if Meat Loaf hasn't been told, someone should tell him. This whole thing just isn't right.

ROSIE · 09 Feb 2004, 20:53

Coppertop how did you get on with your refund?

Coppertop · 09 Feb 2004, 20:57

Rosie, Call me a fool but I'm still trying to get an autographed car. I'm hoping someone will tell Meat what has happened and he will make it right. I love my boyfriend and know the gift would mean the world to him. See he collects die cast and Meat Loaf is his all time favorite. So to him the car is a dream. Unfortunately I'm afraid that's all it will be- a dream.

White of High · 09 Feb 2004, 21:00

Do you want funny car? Look it!

Coppertop · 09 Feb 2004, 21:10

Cute! But it's not signed by MeatLoaf and it won't fit on the shelf

White of High · 09 Feb 2004, 21:46

Yes, it's not signed for Meat... it's signed for Stalin! :)

Ben · 10 Feb 2004, 16:21

Coppertop

its not signed or you could try this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0&category=766

Coppertop · 10 Feb 2004, 18:31

Thanks Ben. I've known they were on eBay for months now and for half the price. MeatLoaf's signature made it soooo much better though.

Gez · 05 May 2004, 10:56

Resurecting this one

.......well I took the plunge and ordered a car from US. It arrived ONE week later WOW

Looks good BUT says for adults over 21....not a toy....so a bitta advice.

Put car on carpet (Laminate floor for posh people), push lips tight together, blow hard (Behave girls) and run car along floor making making blown exaust noise

Coppertop · 20 May 2004, 18:51

Gerri, The car you got one week later, was it signed by Meatloaf and Dean Skuza? I still have not recieved mine!!!! Did you order it through Bill at Knock Out Talent? If so, I'm going to be blazing!!!!!

Congratulations on your good luck though!

Gez · 20 May 2004, 21:30

No Copper.
Browsing ebay where is quite a few for sale and decided to buy one.
With P&P it worked out to £35.00

Not6 signed I'm afraid, but will keep it for the next time I meet MEAT

Coppertop · 13 Nov 2004, 02:31

Sorry to bring this up again but now it has been a whole year and one month since I purchased a "Meat Loaf signed funny car" from the oifc site and to date I have not received either the car or a refund. Can any one help? Bill at knockouttalent.com has refused to answer my e-mails and niether has kevin at 10th street. Maybe Bill was fired???? All I know is I want the car or my money back. Meat Loaf....Do you ever read any of this??? Anyone but a loyal fan would have resorted to violence by now. Please Meat Loaf!!!!! The car is a special gift and I NEEEEEEEED it!!!!

You should direct your e-mail directly to Bill in regard to this matter. His address is listed above. I did help talk Bill into providing the tee shirts, but the offer of the signed cars was his own doing. Bill is still with KnockOut Talent.

Thank you,

Dave

Coppertop · 18 Nov 2004, 01:50

Thanks David. After copying everyone I could think of on my e-mails to him, Bill finally responded and is sending me a refund. (I'll believe it when I see it.) I probably can't say what I think of the man here but I'm surprised Meat Loaf would ever associate himself with such a person. Then again, maybe thats why the cars never got signed. Thanks for your help!!!!

Dave · 20 Nov 2004, 18:18

The cars did not get get signed because a former member of this board gave Bill and his company a lot of undue grief and worry about the cars and shirts.

Bill and Knockout Talent gave Meat Loaf the BIGGEST promotional event for CHSIB in America. It was highly sucessful, causing much talk of the new album by people who would not normally be interested in Meat Loaf.
