lets put the record straight here ;

1. The car in question was tested by BSW motorsport who ( with me present ) confirmed it was peaking at 26 psi and holding 23 psi IN MY OWNERSHIP.
2. Yes if I wanted to drive harder I did and I think you will confirm ( if honest enough ) that when I took you out in it I said then I don't drive it to it's full potential as what it had was enough for me, hence the boost limit problem never arose and was not an issue, and to say I was responsible for the knackered turbo is quite honestly a joke ( especially seeing as BSW had checked it 2 months previous ).
3. Don't be a patronizing little twerp and tell me what I should have bought, I bought the cossie because it was what I wanted and the best I had seen at the time ( like you did !! ) and had it because I could look back and say this is what I had, this is what I did, not this is what I thrashed and this is what I killed
4. Again if your honest enough you will confirm that when you looked at the car I told you then, it is supposed to be 300 + bhp but I cannot verify, therefore I did not lie !.
5. You also seem to forget that I work for Ford Mo Co and therefore am in a very good position to judge what a car can handle as per it's spec.
You say the car is built to handle whatever you may throw at it ( BULL$h!T) at the end of the day it was basically in mild tune and will only take so much before things are going to let go.
6. I never wanted to get into a slanging match with you but the fact is YOU accused me of selling a duff motor which is something I have never done by rattling off in your text that I must have known it had problems and warmed it up before you see it, blah, blah, blah.
I did all the checks from cold when I bought it so I gave you the benefit of the doubt and left it cold for you also to hear it at it's possible worst.

At the end of the day I should have just ignored your text and got on with things but unfortunately I have never had negative feedback like this and am totally p!$sed off to be told I have effectively sold a lemon !

But there is nothing I can put right now, it's your car do what you will, but please don't put the blame on my door ( you may not have mean't too but your message read otherwise )
So therefore I shall leave it at that and hope you take what I've said onboard.

Meanwhile I shall drive my new quite powerful BMW around for the time being awaiting the hopeful Fiesta RS. ( perhaps I'll trade that in and save on grief )

Cheers.
