I fully agree (apart from the swords and stuff coupled with possible death)....lol

My father was a Barrister, my Aunt a JP, me a qualified lawyer, non practising, other family members similarly linked!

The thing with Law is that I do not agree with it because many problems can be solved without reference to litigation, if people would but just talk without emotion. It was considered a pre done thing that I would follow my father when I left school. I however had different ideas.

I find knowledge of Law helpful in life, it does assist in ensuring people do not 'do me over'. It also helps with what I actually do.

Truth is Gatos you are one of the most helpful and respectful forum members on here or any forum I've used. You have been extremely helpful with me when I've needed parts and very patient as well. You are a big part of why this is such a great place to visit and this individual ought to be ashamed of theirselfs.

Also name and shaming would be a good idea as it's making all of us aware of who this person is. Of course this is up to you but I would appreciate it if you would share it with me via PM. I will NOT share it with anyone else on here, you have my word on that. Whatever you choose to do I respect your choice.

All the best mate.

I'm not usually one for naming and shaming but I think on a forum it sometimes needs to be done so that other potential sellers can avoid the same frustration you've had.

I'll also agree with what others have said. Your knowledge on these cars is second to none and you're my first choice for guides and parts before the dealer lol

As I'm sure you know there are a lot of good people on here but there will always be the odd a**hole that can't be avoided, as always with life *sigh*

Cheers

lol. Good answer. Not until next summer..........

Been before? There are Quads for hire and they are awesome fun!! Have a great time ;-)

Sorry to hear about the plonker that done this to you, he's burnt a valuable bridge from what i know of you.
