[catwood]

Somehow I missed this. Bill P retiring......WOW

Congrats....don't get stuck accepting a "part time job" to fill the void and it will and then some.

Best to you Bill Cheers.

Thanks Carl and all you who have called , texted and posted here. The funny thing, Carl, is Woodhouse actually let me work my own hours for the past 2.5 years, and paid me to help transfer as many old customers, friends, friends of customers, racers, etc. over to Salespeople I felt would do a great job continuing the relationships with Woodhouse. At some point I felt the time would come where I could walk away feeling like I had not just shut the door and walked away from so many Viper/SRT customers who many became friends., That time is now, and it has been kind of a " Part Time " job but super fun and heck they paid me ,haha.

I have told VOA members they can still contact me or call me , because this Club has never been a job, it is a community and what a great place to go hang with friends who have similar likes.

Will hang out , hopefully, for years to come and hope you get your motor built , Cat, as it looks like some tracks are opening.

Sorry to see you go Bill, but happy that I might save some money now. You have always taken good care of me. If I was more technology unchallenged I would post all the pictures of the deliveries from the Woodhouse drivers:

1. 2000 GTS
2. 2004 White Mamba
3. 2008 ACR
4. 2010 SRT Challenger
5. 2014 TA
6. 2016 Hellcat Charger
7. 2016 GTS 1 of 1

Thanks again Bill

Well I knew this day would come although I just ignored it, Bill all I can say is thank you for being a brother to me and changing not only my life and my family’s, but so many others that were fortunate enough to enjoy your wit, caring and knowledge. You will be missed and even though I have access to you it will still never be the same. You have defined what a salesman should be, direct, honest, engaging, mindful and truly committed to the CUSTOMER just as a friend would be. For all that you have taught me I could still only hope to emulate your passion and love for the community.
Love you brother and pray for a wonderful retirement for you!
***not crying*** lol

Mark there is no other person I have been so pleased to work with than you and your honesty and integrity was what propelled me to suggest we hire you for Performance and Service when I could not handle it and Sales. You took the Service and Motorsports to heights I could not even imagine , while never causing me any concern that you would sell folks something we knew did not work. You consistently earned the trust and respect from all your customers as well as many, many of the Engineers at SRT/Dodge. The Aftermarket Suppliers all expressed to me you were one of the most knowledgeable and conscientious Shops they worked with , but more importantly they always mentioned your honesty was beyond reproach. I know where you work, and will probably stop in at the Bentley Store more often when things cool down with Covid 19. Liz likes to shop out in that area and I will have a great excuse to come hang with you and she can go shop to her hearts content, ha.

These comments won't come as a surprise to many on this Forum, as most know my fondness and respect for you when they bought a car. It is a unique experience in life to feel so confident with someone you work with that you never go back and question what they are going to do. You always had my back and I was unbelievably fortunate I never once had to watch yours. Love you man and keep up the stellar work!


PS - I am sending another Viper customer out there to see you since you are cranking the Motorsports Division back up.

Congratulations Bill. Wish you health and happy retirement. I'm not very far from it myself, its one of those things you look forward to till the day comes and then its like dang, do I really want to do this...lol

[quickster2]

Congrats again Bill. I'm a few months behind you. Take care.

[Bill Pemberton]

Well , Congrats Quickster ( from a former Venom Red Owner ) it isn't too bad because you can still hang out here or with your fellow Viperholics and keep fairly sane, ha. Appreciate all you have done for us over the years!!

Actually I don't retire till June 1st ...........oops, guess that is tomorrow, ha.
