Default Big Shame www.fordsspares.co.uk

What a big shame that the plug has been pulled on the site

Was a good site in the making and is a shame that lennie got so much agro about the site being just for his benifit, which was very unture.

Anyway just a quick thank you to lennie and the rest of his team for all the effort they did put in

Good job lads

Funnily enough, I've just read the same email now that was sent this morning.

The following is an email sent to you by an administrator of "Fords Spares". If this message is spam, contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board at the following address:

fordsspares@ntlworld.com

Include this full email (particularly the headers).

Message sent to you follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As of today, the board will be disabled, and offline. it seems that it was a bit of a non starter, and people feel it was for my self ( lennie) to use as my own way of making money, which in fact it was not, that fact being a have very little for sale on the site. ( it cost me Ł30 ish a month and that s free site, with domain name and ad removal.) i appreciate all the hard work, especailly Paul and Nick for promoting the site, and nick for arranging the stickers!.
it is a sad day, but i feel its not working!

if anyone needs to contact me, either reply to this email, or Fordsspares@ntlworld.com

cheers Lennie 23/01/07

I think you'll find he got aggro from people here for not sending out goods and taking payment, then a big delay until when people chased him up..... his other half stepped in and refunded them when she found out ...

I dont know the guy but I'm sure from what I read on the last post that a new house and baby might have something to do with it by the sound of it .....

Nath & G2 FSR

The site wasn't there just for Lennie to sell his goods as you seem to be giving that impression, it was for all and sundry to sell there goods - a bit like swap shop.

The problems Lennie had were with items he'd sold as an individual thru Pf or Ebay etc.... and had NOTHING to do with the site.

Anything anyone bought thru the site were between the 2 people that were doing the buying and selling and nothing to do with Lennie. All in all Lennie is a nice fella and a good mate, but sometimes has his fingers in toooooo many pies and over stretches himself.

Like Transit Killer said its a shame the site has been closed as it had good purtential(sp) and could of been big, we all know what a pain in the arse Ebay can be. Was a very good idea, shame it got the boot.

It reads that the site was partially to blame for the Lennies mishaps, where neither are connected other than Lennie being a mod on the site.

Might be just me tho

This is lennie posting, as i was told by nick321rs abt the post . if anyone has a problem with this, take it up with amod.

Fordsspares MAY well open again, but one things for sure, i aint gonna let it be taken over.

AND ONE BIG THING>NATH. my lack of ability to post items on time has Fuck all to do with anyone,especially you. aside from the people I refunded, not Liza.
as paul says, i have my fingers in too many pies, and iys time to Stop.

this is the first and last time i will be posting on here, but i had to have my say on things.

thanks to all the people whom have fucked things up by not letting me have a link in my siggy, as the benifits was for every one and not me!
so to you lot!

one more thing. Liza has NOTHING to do with this.


o and thanks to all the members of Fordsspares.co.uk, it was good while it lasted.

I had problems with Lennie outside of his site. I bought some items off him December 28th and they still havent come to this day even tho he swore blind that he had proof of postage for like begining of jan (Which he didn't supply of course)

Liza did refund me and I'm thankfull. The problem was it took me 2 weeks of no replys to find out that it was lennie I'd bought off except that he'd sold me the parts under a diferent username, as he had done with other users, that's why I was pissed at him!

Anyway good idea that site was, seing as tho it was dealings between 2 users and not lennie, but PF has the same functions lads let us not forget!!!!

Exactly Lennie is a top bloke, he even paid for a car off me before collecting it as i needed the money....some people on here have got alot of talk about others without knowing the facts ie his house being done up and Liza having a baby......so give the guy a break.
Well Done for trying though Lennie. Nice to see some people do try and help others not just slag people off

How has this fordspares demise issue suddenly become PassionFords fault?

As for Siggy's and banning's, It may well be in your own interests to obtain a fact or two before making a right fool of yourselves peeps.

As always, those who know the actual facts tend to miss out one or two of them when relaying stories and tales of woe, leaving you looking extremely foolish when you choose to repeat the storys.

As for Fordspares.x.x, its a shame its gone as all in all it looked a pretty usefull commodity for the Ford world. Get her back online Lennie.
