what a tugger, dont give up mate, get on to trading standards, if hes trading as repairing turbos and giving warrenty etc and he did post saying he will sort it he is now in breech and they WILL do something, you could also get onto your home insureance, you pay for legal cover and the solistors (sp) there should take up your case.

my mum got ripped the other year by someone, mum was making a load of bridesmaids dresses, they never paid as they said they didnt fit right, not for the fact one bird was up the duff by time orf weding, another got a bit fatter, and one dropped out so someone else who was shorter stood in lol

anyway, mum took it to legal dept on home insurance, they paid my mum the money owed then went to the woman to get it back from her!

so dont despair mate, there are always ways mate, breaking legs, free hospital food etc, can be left for the last action

I think its unfair to riducle him just because he had another job too, most tuners started out parttime while doing some other job I expect.

And Albert einstien was of course just a clerk.


































However, he wasnt a clueless useless fucking idiot, so I guess the comparison is a shallow one

sorry to hear about this rob

when my T3 was smoking like a chimney i had numerous conversations with that guy from G.B turbo solutions on msn and he came across as someone who knows his stuff. Im so glad i didnt send him my T3 and part with £380 for a replacement unit from him !

i think you may have to make a personal visit rob to recover the money.

Thats the thing with the UK scene, they dont need ANY proof that people are any good at what they do.

All they need is some fancy words to baffle and impress the customer, make the person sound clever, and they'll empty their wallets, worship them, fight to the death on their side on the net, all sorts of gay.

Saw this topic earlier, Then i was randomly looking through September 2007 issue of Performance Ford...





Seems he must have been making a fair bit to advertise in magazines

Wonder how many more have been burned

Oh certainly not, but in the UK way wayaaaaaayayayayayaya more than anywhere else, in car scene at least.

People argue stuff to the death, even when the facts are staring them in the face, as their tuner told them so.

Sometimes when foriegn guys (USA or NZ mostly) are arguing with them I feel ashamed to be from this country as they must think we all fucking gullible blinkered retards

copied here for prosperity, just cause I suspect he'll remove it when everyone starts clicking your link

About me:
Owner of G.B Turbo Solutions. We recondition, Hybrid and Supply new turbo units....for any vehicle. Website is, ww w.gbturbosolutions.org.uk Whats up with you women? In most of your profiles its says, "i waana nice guy to cuddle and love me blah blah", stop whinging and do something about it. Get writing, i'll chat to pretty much anyone so dont be shy. carlsworth@hotmail.co.uk Dont worry,im a nice kind-a-guy, or if your a big wuss send me a message. Lap dancers: please form an orderly cue to the right...ill deal with you later. Seriously though, if you are a lap dancer and fed up of being treated like crap because of the job you do, gis a shout. Also, rate me and ill send you a piece of christmas cake. Oh, and girls, its not everything being good looking. By the way ladies, please explain why women want nice guy but go for loser...???? Oh, also,....if you are under the age of 20, ONLY contact me if you think of yourself as slightly more intelligent than a crickle cut chip...unless your gorgeous, then thats ok,...lol... Maria tambe, if your out there gis a shout would be good to hear from you. ***** ok, ive noticed that there are hardly any guys on here that winge about dislikes in women, im not sure why this is, but theres loads of women that slate men. Is this because its a girl thing to do? Well if it is, i assume im in touch with my feminine side, so here it goes. This is to all those munters out there that walk round pubs/clubs like they own the place despite the following: Your hair is almost falling out because its been dyed that many times; You cant remember what you look like under the inch thick make up you have to trowel on every morning; your eyesbrows resemble biro pen lines drawn on above your eyes because you think it makes you look sexy; your miserable, grumpy and constantly tired because you dont eat properly:- thats the reason your stick thin; your skin resembles dried cat turd after hammering the sunbed everyday for the past 2 years; you dare'nt smile because of said makeup may crack and fall from your haggered face; you have a mini on finance and struggle to make the payments while working in a hairdressers for minimum wage. So, ok, you look good from a distance in your skin tight shorts, high heels and push up bra, but underneath it all your just a lonely girl thats scared to let anyone see the real you because of the fasard you have been putting up and have no identity of your own because of the pressures to look a certain way. Its sad, just be yourself.

you need the following items:
1 x bottom
1 x food to develop consistant poo
a few meters of clingfilm
some dark 2 inch wide parcel tape
some cardboard

you have to make sure the poo is of the right consistency first, so make sure you eat properly for a few days beforehand
do a poo on some clingfilm, no, none of this shuttle docking spaceship nonsence going on here
wrap the clingfilm around a few times to make sure there is no leakage
then start to roll it about like dough until it's flat
you can then either trim off any excess or just get a bigger envelope to put it into
once you have a flat poo of the correct sides, put it into a freezer to freeze solid for a good few hours
once it's frozen into a proper block of poo remove it from the freezer and then wrap it up the sellotape
there are several reasons for this
the first is to disguise the fact that you are posting a poo
the second is to make sure that it retains the correct shape
and you also want to keep the smell in as good as you can
you can also put 2 sheets of cardboard to help retain the shape if you feel it's going to go too soft and melt
you can now post your poo, happy in the knowledge that it will reach it's intended in good shape and they will either rip it open and be covered in your excrement or they will use a knife to cut through the sellotape and it will run out onto their desk

either way, the resluts will be impressive

just make sure that you put on the envelope "private and confidential, to be opened by named recipient only"
