New Bird look

[George Burke]

Macy, there are some great people on these forums, and then as you well know, there are the others. Those pretenders who like being your friend when it suits them, and then attack you when it suits them. I was told early on in my management career that," peoplewho don't make mistakes don't get anything done ". Wonder how many mistakes those people have made in their careers? Anyhow, I think that you guys have done a tremendous job, trying to get this company turned around, and becoming a profitable entity once again. I wish you all the best. I wouldn't lose any sleep over what has been said. I would think that the pretenders would not be able to do what you do, else they would be doing it! Best Regards and Build them with Pride , George Burke

John, do you feel exploited in anyway? If you do my friend I sincerely apologize. There was no intend or desire to do so.

This was a huge momentous event for us, the new Blue Bird brings back the quality, workmanship, and attention to detail that made the Wanderlodge the legend that it is. This was a huge day for us and many hundreds of our friends turned out to see the unit and congratulate us and wish us well.

I am somewhat taken aback that some have elected to attack us over the lack of pictures and updates on the website at precisely 4:00 PM on the 16^th without knowing all the facts or even asking what the facts were before unleashing.

I am overwhelmed by pride and gratitude for the hardworking craftsmen, technicians, engineers, and designers who labored against all odds, many times for 26 or even 36 hours at a time without sleep to bring our new Wanderlodge to life and make it available for the show. They have my undying gratitude, respect and admiration.

I am sorry that through all of these extraordinary efforts and against all odds and in the midst of getting this spectacular coach to the show, we ran out of time to take photos and that therefore our success didn't include the timely update of our website.

Rob, who said "Negat". I think like your post on the commercial
forum looking for pics at the end of the countdown, many were
disapointed. I never read any negitive comments about the bus. I
also never thought to consider the hard work and overthe top effort
that goes into building the coach.

I'll say one thing, The Bus looks like a Million Dollars.

Macy, I think you and the CCW/Coachworks staff did a remarkable job in getting the 2009 prototype out the door in such a short time.

I will say, the countdown clock on the 'legacy' web site _did_ create an anticipation that photos of the new WL would appear after the countdown ended. No photos = some disappointment. I've got to admit, that when I visited the legacy site on the 17th (having been at MacWorld SF on the 16th), I was surprised to not see any photos... So, let's just call it a marketing goof and leave it at that. The last-minute preparations are no surprise and the focus on being ready for the official introduction surely played a role in not realizing the expectations you may have raised on your web site. Appropriate quality professional photos take time -- and obviously the time wasn't available.

The coach itself is beautiful -- and the craftsmanship reflected in the vehicle is outstanding. You and the whole team are to be congratulated for bringing it all together. 

I look forward to seeing the professional photos on the web site when they're available... (No hard feelings on my part.)

My best to you and the Coachworks team,

Pete Masterson

Good note Rob! I can't believe some of the whining about lack of
pictures from the factory. You know it wasn't long ago that the
whining (including my own) was about lack of support from the factory
(previous ownership) and that the owners of CoachWorks could care
less about the older birds. Now we have seen our wildest and most
unimaginable dream come true, that is of a new ownership that has an
interest and passsion for the product. So what do some do in
appreciation, complain about pictures of a new bird that most of us
will have to wait 20 years to afford anyhow. Come on folks, quit
crying and start congradulating the owners and workers for what they
have pulled off in an incredually short amount of time. Congradulate
them for being open minded to the older owners. And congradulate
them for incuding us in their shining moment.
Macy and co, congradulations on what I hear is an impressive 'bird
that looks like will be the start of resurecting the prestige of
Wanderldoge!

Thanks
to all who have written to me regarding the unveiling and voicing your support
for us and the New Bird, we are very proud of her and see her as the
resurrection of a great and proud heritage of outstanding motor homes.

If
I sounded defensive it was not for me, my concern is for the hard working
family of Blue Birders who sacrificed so much to build a product we can all be
very proud of.

I
do apologize sincerely for the photo faux paux, we will have more photos by the
end of next week as our marketing company finishes taking the final pictures
for building a new brochure.

Thanks
to all again for caring and supporting us through emails calls and personal
contact.

You
all are to a the last person, the most fabulous customers on earth!

I too congratulate you on the successful new product. There are
things I love and others not particularly, but with the time
constraints and different views of what the product should be, that is
the way it is. The most important is the fact that there is quality
and reliability back in the product. We all have different design
tastes. I know first hand as a retired architect. I've never had two
clients exactly alike.

I look forward to future developments and products. I love my Bird.
