I haven't received anything from them yet except several emails telling me that there has been a backlog and I will receive the brake fluid shortly. If I get any more emails from them I am going to tell them to jam their brake fluid where the sun doesn't shine.

No fine print, the emails basically stated that every single person would get this from memory.

I was told that I would get a free bottle, & I'm pretty sure I would have been after the first 100 people.

Still have not recived the fluid & the emails that said I would get it shortly have stopped. I recently had to do the brakes on my car & you can guess who I didnt get them from.

It was a pretty big fail for a promotion IMO.

It almost sounds like there was more demand than they were expecting, probably cost a hell of alot to do as well. By making people write to them after the first batch was given away ment they didnt have to give away as many bottles & hoped everyone else forgot about it.

Nope didn't get mine either.

I agree, I reckon they hoped we'd a forget about it (which I did until now, seeing as they've sneakily stopped the emails).

I know that they bit off more than they could chew with this promo. I know that Penrite actually ran out of stock hence the back log. It was all to build a massive data base and I've been told its huge. I didn't realise that so many of you didn't receive your promo packs. However if you submitted a fake email don't be surprised you didn't get anything.
