WTF would Dick do this on ACA?

I mean no disrespect to him, but ACA is bottom feeding journalism at best, I really really wish he wasn't going public by ACA!

It's sad.

Here it comes....

Probably a paid interview, and any publicity is good publicity perhaps? Nobody does spin like the 'Johnson Clan'. Sick to death of his whingeing and **** moaning and crying poverty. He made some bad business decisions, wouldn't move with the times and tried to support his team by the Johnson name only. Save your money, and just go to your local library and go to the fiction section. Dick lost his credibility years ago, when he threatened to jump ship if his demands weren't met.

Flame away.

A work colleague is a good friend of DJR and Dick himself, this has been a long time coming
and it is testament to the man that when he got burned, he used up all of his own personal wealth
instead of simply burning others.

Apart form a book deal DJ has asked for no cash that I know of, just support for the race team if people see fit...

Well I am going to flick him a few bucks to keep the fires burning.

Very noble of you.

Why don't we go one better and start a small charity type fund right here on this forum. I'd be happy to donate as well.

As a FORD forum, it would be a nice gesture to support a FORD legend. He is a big reason i could hold my head high when I had my XE ESP.

We can't bail him out but we can help. I'm sure every cent would count for him right now. Sometimes there doesn't always need to be a friggin business case and tax motivation to help people out.

If anyone on here can organize a legit Tricky Dicky donation fund. I'm in.

Even as a New South Welshman who would consider himself an Australian first would be in for that. Anyone capable of kicking this off?

i'm in for sure

XR8sam · 22-07-2013, 09:26 PM

Just an Idea!!!,
Why don't we hold a Ford Forum swap-meet in all states with all the proceeds going to the "Dicky Fund", wouldn't be good to have some Forum members meet in one spot and have a good old BBQ and sell the stuff lying around the garage (car parts/household stuff--anything), I know I would donate all my stuff (standard headers/sway bar/sub woofer/ICC/pillar trims/standard rotors ect

.

Have a chat, show & shine our cars, eat some BBQ, and help out a Legend-warts n all.

if I can help I will, we have to look after our mates.

Is there some way we on this forum help donate or collect some funds to help?? Collectively that is.

Just buy the book, I’ll be buying one.

While I have the utmost respect for Dick and what he’s achieved, there are many who have found themselves in dire situations who don’t have the access to the media to tell their story or the resources to write a book that people will actually buy.

I know plenty of people who have been ripped off badly / made poor business decisions (myself included) and not a lot of people outside of the own family could GAF.

If you really want to help, just buy the book, shirts or what ever he’s selling. I can’t see the need to just donate money.

Flame away.

cliford302 · 22-07-2013, 09:55 PM

Dick will be at riverlink Ipswich on 31st of July.I was going to buy the book and politely ask for an autograph.

mr smith · 22-07-2013, 08:15 PM

The fully sick bros on the following story were good for a laugh.

buddy92 · 22-07-2013, 08:15 PM

Dick Johnson is the only bloke I've met that's actually spoken to me, in a Cafe to.

I know topics like religion aren't to be discussed here but Dick is God, and I swear that if this thread goes the way of the other one I started last night I'm going to flip out.

Let's hope this thread doesn't.

I agree, an auction would have been better for all parties. If I was owed dough from Dick I would have been expecting a bit more from the cars.
Also a bit tall poppy but I think the Bowdens have enough.

westy73 · 22-07-2013, 08:30 PM

Gotta watch this on catch up tv now. Dick is a legend !!

XWGT · 22-07-2013, 08:47 PM

I'm in.

Happy to help out Mr Tru Blu and Greens Tuf

GTP-814 · 22-07-2013, 08:51 PM

i'm in

I ordered the book today out of respect, its adds to the others

Auslandau · 22-07-2013, 09:10 PM

We wouldn't have the facilities on the Forum's to officially organise a charity fund unfortunately but would say the best way to help the support (and the easiest and direct way) is to buy his up and coming book.

If any clubs, especially in QLD that could organise a run for a donation possibly?

A little bit of kudos to ACA (as much as I hate the show) they have helped him plug his book and was a good story.
