theres 'nob heads wherever you go, i sold a cossie to Trist from the island, he came over with his missis & friend (dan?) they were the most friendly people you could wish to meet in the day, don't let a couple of people put you off the whole island

Just dont meet us at night

Only joking my mum (who is also my sister,my auntie, and my nan with 6 fingers on each hand and webbed feet) said that im a good person!

dont get to put off by the bad stories there are more honest people on the island than not, just a shame that people have had trouble with some.

Actually all i heard was the wheels got nicked while at a garage, i was asking the horses mouth how the car was rather than listen to chinese whispers, how is that being a clever fucker???

If you have a problem with me pm me other wise fuck off with stuf thats nothing to do with you.

There's only a couple of con men on the Isle of Wight, it's just unfortunate they're PF members!

No complaints from me with my dealings. Got a set of opening rear ¼'s for my S2 and they were exactly as decribed and reasonably priced and sent my old Pace intercooler brackets there with no problems at all
