Lol...that's not the 1st time someone has said that to me.

I can remember Vince Osborne of Universal/CR Turbos fame saying that Harvey at the time asked him if I was mental or a bit stupid because I had just shrugged my shoulders and didnt bother doing anything about EA at the time, given that I had all the evidence and info to bury him! I think he was more frustrated than I was. But after the ordeal I had been through I just wanted rid of any dealings with EA! One very prominent tuner off here (who I shall not name) even offered to be my expert witness in any court case as he was also annoyed that i'd sat on my ass and did nothing!

One thing I forgot to mention was that I did get a bit shitty with EA one day afterwards and his missus rang me up crying saying I was going to ruin their business because of the bad publicity....so i backed off. There was talk of him giving me some parts to sell to raise some funds towards my new SCS engine but it never happened. I did have 3 Eproms off him but they were all faulty and one of them for RS Bowks off this forum (I drop his name in here because he will witness my comments) made his car run on what sounded like 2 cylinders and wouldnt tick over. So EA couldnt even send out a chip to run an Escort Cosworth on greens that ran properly.

So I actually had nothing towards the ten grand engine repair bill. Not a bean. Not to this day. I must have got him business worth well over six figures in his first year of trading, got him on the cover of Performance Ford 3 times in 2003 alone yet he tells me to fuck off when he fucks my engine that he built himself. Gratitude eh?

Anyway, enough of my car and self pity. Im sure you've all heard enough of me ramble on now.

Any other EA horror stories? Lol.
