Not sure weather Russ works on customers cars or not but last I heard Russ pointed the blame at his apprentice for the shoddy work done on Gregs car....

I know I'm ploughing a well-worn furrow here, but a traders reputation stands or falls by how he handles the bad times, not by how he basks in the glow of approbation from assorted bag-carriers.

LOL Still having a pop T5D5 Russ, now why would that be? LOL I will wait for the more mature members of T5D5 to reply.

Question though.. Have you managed to pay Greg all his moneys owed to him yet?

1. WHAT are you talking about Russell???? I know that we have hepled a family that "lost it all" in a fire, I know that we've helped a member that suffered a burglary, I know we've helped a member who was outrageously RIPPED OFF BY A THOROUGHLY UNSCRUPULOUS GARAGE MASQUARADING AS A "VOLVO SPECIALIST" (WOULD YOU CARE TO COMMENT??)

2. Just WHO THE FECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OTHERS TAKING THE RISE??? I'VE SEEN YOUR INVOICES YOU CROOK??? YOU TAKE THE P*SS EVERY TIME YOU BILL ONE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS?? (WOULD YOU CARE TO COMMENT ON THAT)

3. Inicidentally, have you refunded Mr. Shrimpton for the drop links yet, or should I start writing letters NOW????

4. Do us all a favour; go and find a rock big enough to conceal your delusional ego and crawl under it!!!
