I'm pretty sure but not definite, anyone else ?
The annoying thing is he was capable of doing a good job, why he didn't seem to a lot of the time is another matter.

everyone makes mistakes i agree, but it appears Paul Hills done more than most - ask Ian M about his engine.

in fact, just do a search on here

if he was so good, why isnt he trading still like the decent tuners in this country?

Nobody is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, fact. It is how we deal with our mistakes that makes us men.

As per all the threads posted above, he certainly never showered himself in glory did he!

...however, life is never that simple. Because in between the once upon a time, and the end came a world of shit and handing over money and more money. And yet more money. for total incompetance. And blatant greed!

Yes I'm sure there are those of you on here who had good work done by Paul hills - when he just fitted your spark plugs or plug leads for you (overcharged of course). But when it came to doing anything remotely complex on a proper car, he fucked everything up. And not just for me but for dozens and scores of people I can name.

He is gone for a reason, maybe many reasons. Some of which are:-

1. He was greedy
2. Didnt know what he was doing

Now some can get away with being either (1) or (2) - and I know plenty of tuners that come under one of those but Paul Hills was unique because he could boast he had both of those qualities......greedy and a total shaft.

And if he could shaft you he would. And he shafted me for sure. Maybe those of you he didnt shaft had a tighter arse than me. As my arse was well and truly opened by him. And all of my money fell out of it.

Defend him all you want but the ford tuning industry is far safer without him and he is not missed.

Everybody makes mistakes. But some make more than others. And others make loads more.

And yes it's how we deal with them that makes us men. Because Paul Hills would never admit that he made them......apart from when he left half a socket set inside an engine. I mean there was no denying that lol!

But by not admitting mistakes does that mean if he is not made a man, then is he a woman?

Being serious though - I would not be so bitter if after my engine blew up for the second time he said "Sorry mate, my fault - I will help you fix it". But he didnt. He never admitted he was wrong, always thought he was right. A fundamental mistake.

There is a danger the one can believe ones own bullshit. He believed his. He was wrong.

Exactly. If you keep making the same mistakes over and over (as I am informed he did) and then denying it, your already at the bottom of the slippery slope, its no way to run a business, and conduct yourself as a person tbh.
