Popey moved to Australia. Spadge is still a regular on the E30 Zone web site. Deep into his BMW's now, and haven't seen him with a Cosworth for some time. Broke up more cosworths than the avarage breakers yard. Always had quality bits for sale, and never ripped anyone off or bull shitted on an item. I bought my fair share off him, and was always pleased with what I got. Also met with him at Donny a few years ago..........he hasn't changed.

Both top guys.

Did he...... shame, but like me and my Missus, im sure there were reasons

Fair play for looking after his lad.....He was always a man of his word

Just had a tip off that he is terrorising the E30 forums

Maybe i should sign up and air some of the pic war pictures i have

Spadge was/is Spadge, take him as you find him.

If you ever wanted something, and didn't want to get ripped off.........Spadge is the man.

I can see why people would think that of him tbh.........

BUT

I always liked the guy....he was straight to the point and told it as it was. I like that in a person.

Would always stop and have a chat if he saw you at shows/meets ect......

i have a vague recollection of that but cant remember the details. i dont know spadge personally but the 20+ pages of 100% positive feedback on our bmw site would lead me to believe he was a trustworthy guy.

with people in our country maybe...

Martin knows the guy in Norway very well and says he is straight. I met him once seemed a lovely guy...

LOADS of other people have sold him stuff with no problems from this country.

I juts remember the evidence against Spadge was VERY damming at the time. Couldn't provide any shipping details as I remember?

Maybe I am mistaken...

Hope so as I dealt with Spadge and he seemed fine.

Had a few dealings with him in the past never again, dont like the bloke or his attitude to be honest, plenty people I know got ripped of by him, always tried to get away with things if he could, the 500 parts saga was the worst and doubt its been sorted.
Good luck to him what ever he's doing.
