Tiff there was a long thread on here about it somewhere. Basically A Norwegian user purchsed a RS500 whaletail for a large some of money of spadge and never recieved anything to date, spadge was very reluctant to provide any info or help, and it would seem he done the poor bloke over.
Takes the piss really as the poor bloke has lost allot of dollar, not a joke and im sure if it was any one of us we wouldnt be happy.

I met the bloke at Gatebil Tabz, LOVELY bloke.... and his 3 door is THE best I have ever seen. Work of art! you would love it!!!

He was done over in my opinion....

funnily enough, Spadge didn't come on PF much after...

theres nothing on there that would cause me to doubt spadge, lots of keyboard warrioring from people that dont know anything and a guy allegedly ripped of that oddly leaves things for years before complaining. who would still have any courier details after all that time?

Good god i've never read so much ill-informed bollox in my life!
I'm still alive, still in the same house with the same phone number and yes still have the same wife and my great, now not so little, 5 year old!
A few have posted some derogatory things on here but these are the same cocks that were posting the same old shite many years ago so no surprises there!
To you guys that i would still regard as friends that have posted positive comments thank you very much for the support and i'm sure we'll meet again one day.
I stopped using this site for many reasons but the main one was that my love affair with the YB came to an end and i've moved on, got on with my life, and now spend a lot more time on the golf course instead of laying under cars or being a sad muppett with my eyes fixed on a computer screen for hours on end.
Take it easy folks
Reagrds Spadge...

ps. Gareth.
Elliott says thank you very much for the coin set from you and the 'proper' PF people from 5 + years ago. That was a real traumatic time and you, Stu and my real 'friends' from PF really did help me/us through it, even though i did lose it for a while around that time.
Thank you!

I dont know you personally, just from sitting at a computer screen for hours, lol... glad to hear you're doing alright.

I also remember a couple of the photoshop efforts from way back in the day...... Could you just confirm that you still resemble Phil Mitchell?


Cheers,
Grant

No, the lamp-post attacked him as he drove past.
Was reading this feature last week with the old owner - even though Spadge owned the car at that time of publishing and had already done this to it







Welcome back (temporarily) Spadgey.

Always thought Spadge was funny !!

I know the guy who used to own the Gartrac very well & not a penny was spared on that motor !! He now owns an R32 Skyline GTR that recently absolutely kicked my a**e down the mile a couple months ago !!

Good luck to ya Spage & all the best for the future !!

Cheers Mark

I hope everything in your life is now on an even keel as well.

Rich - Yes the boobs are of the larger variety but sadly like the worlds ecenomy are now traveling south! Boom and bust anyone!

Fletch - Yes the mechanicals were excellent but sadly prior to your mates ownership the bean tin had had more hits than the Beatles which had been cunningly hidden with plenty of P40.

That car was Banana shaped before i had my close encounter although granted i did make it a bit more advanced!

Cheers all and have a merry christmas.
