Amazing how things change, it was not that long ago that this character was spoken about with awe and reverence by many on here.

Good to see a dishonest con man has been outed at last.

He would probalably still have a good reputation if he had a education in customer services/satisfaction.

The funniest bit of irony (amongst many) is that Mr Thompsons Solicitor is a Marine Solicitor with a qualification in mediation. Mr Thompson refused mediation before he was taken to court by Greg

I won't call it a sad day....

A joyous one perhaps as another so called Volvo specialist is proven to be corrupt, dishonest and a bully. Just glad he never did any work on my cars, because if he had I would be getting it checked!!!!


Hey Russ thanks for visiting my forum profile

Just had a quick look at that thread and noticed he includes his own car and wifes car in pictures of customers cars. Perhaps giving the impression they service more yellow T5-R than they actually do?

I also spotted that when his wifes car was on the ramp (engine out job) it had a legal number plate, then on a couple of shots latter on, sporting a slightly non compliant number plate.

I do have to say that some internet viruses are not as prevelant as the peril threads.
