Interview with Shawn York 9-26-07

[BLUELINE1]

AND........... If I catch Shawn with BleuLine Cheese in his mouth he is history!

Sorry, but the Cubbies are up.............

T.

 

[Mikey P]

Let me ask this again...


What part did the Bulletin Boards play in the success of the Vortex?

 

[Mikey P]

Allow me to point out that there are only TWO titanium foundry's left in North America. Ruger (yes, firearms) Investment Castings (Who did Ping and Callaway) golf clubs and where I welded the first ever titanium wand has been dismanteled and now there is now only Coast Castings, Mexicali MX. to do all of the work for all American companies that desire TI products.

Figure out the SS vs. TI conversion. Most if not all of the TI was and is poured from scrap medical hip bones and other medical prosthessises from America and Russia.

Thom

ok...


So why not supply the V and all BlueLINEs with a great wand instead of a mediocre, under jetted POS, poor airflow, hack welded Westpak?

 

[Mikey P]

Good lord Brevik face it you got your ass kicked.

Now go ask Daddy if he needs his car waxed.

 

[Mikey P]

Are you still buying your vacuum hose from Joe Bristor?

 

[-JB-]

Shawn,

Why are you dodging my other question?

when do you think you guys will be able to manufacture a unit that can out perform my Steamin Deamon?

Does it intimidate your manhood?

 

[Mikey P]

Stand back while BreviK catches wood over those compliments..

Now answer my damn questions before my head explodes.

 

[truckmount girl]

Official Score:

Shawn - 1/2
Odin - 0

Shawn just lost a half point for going overboard.

Carry on.

Take care,
Lisa

 

[Guest]

Odin bribed the Finnish judge...

 

[cu]

why did you let porky get away from your clutches without a v in Atlanta back in 2001
that was your best chance ever to get him to unlock his pocket
but you blew it

where do you see the design of tm,s going in the next 10 years

 

[bob vawter]

Under the bus again Mikey?

 

[Mikey P]

are you still breathing Bob?

 

[BLUELINE1]

For any SERIOUS questions, I don't hide........

Thomas T Fielding
BLE/Vortex

866-445-3030\928-710-3840

Goodnight.

 

[Greenie]

I'm hoping for Nuclear, we could use the extra heat with the high flow, and then we could lose the rattley smelly diesel.

 

[Mikey P]

If Geline hadn't stopped by this interview would have been over 2 hours ago.

 

[Mikey P]

phew!

 

[Greenie]

I would say that 25 to 30% of current V owners were directly influenced in some way by what they read on industry forums

wow!

That is much more than I would have guessed.

There is obviously are larger voice via internet than the mainstreamers would have you think.

 

[Mikey P]

Seriously Shawn, you and I both know that the Wand is just about the most important factor in HWE cleaning.

Why short change your customers?



The V is so worthy of a Titanium Wand with high flow and a included GGlide.

Or at least a Greenhorn.


Beat AT to the punch buddy.

 

[Bob Foster]

Kind of reminds you of GM or Ford putting the cheapest tires they could buy on a $40,000 car or truck.

 

[Mikey P]

Ok I'll give you an easy one.


Will either of your sons become Carpet Cleaners?

 

[Greenie]

In BLUEline/Vortex's defense, it's not always easy explaining to the average Joe cleaner or better yet the average multi-truck owner, the value of spending $100-150 more for a simple carpet wand. And this would be x2 for a big truck.

Add to that the fun of explaining to the Dealer the exact same thing.

BLE/Vortex makes machines, not wands......right now.

 

[Guest]

What' is a Vortex?

 

[Mikey P]

Those kids could kill in SB. What an opportunity.


Great idea.

 

[BLUELINE1]

Do I have to go over the whole TI thing AGAIN?

PLEASE buy a hundred thousand of them!

T.

 

[Greenie]

Shawn mentioned earlier about eating crow's butt, I would like to know what Shawn thought of the Competition's truck on display inside at Connections?

Since most of the coolest stuff was not AeroTech Mfg. I would be asking myself who's ideas they were, and how can I tap that idea pool?

Actually I wouldn't be asking anything, I would have hired Michael Schoeny a long time ago, then those ideas would have been mine, and that would have been a Vortex everyone was gawking at.

 

[Mikey P]

Well Yaps, I think we're about done.
Great job. Thanks for spending so much time on the fist half.
And thanks for being a good sport in the second. I hope you had some fun doing this

I hope Thom is not to cranky tomorrow..


Will we be seeing you at Mikefest in February?




Muchas gracias compadre.


Miguel

 

[Mikey P]

You better answer Greenie or I'll never hear the end of it.

 

[Mikey P]

One last word.


I noticed a big difference in Shawn at Connections this year. By not having to be on stage all day, worrying about sales and "working" the audience, he was a joy to be around. He was relaxed and able to have a good time for the first time in Vegas. It was nice to see.
Selling off his baby to BL probably added years to is life.

I am very happy for the guy.















Unfortunately Adam and Thom will probably be dead by Mikefest..

 

[Kevin B]

Excellent hot seat!

 

[Mikey P]

Alright, which one of you played the role of Richard Crawford in this interview?
