Which was strange as this was the voice of my best friends little Brother, so I knew right away he had stolen it and his Brother was using it. Talk about rub it in your face. I went round there and confronted him and he became very embaressed. He eventually told me his little Brother had stolen the phone which I knew was a lie. His little Bro' was a nice kid and wouldn't do that. Eventually he came clean and we fell out.

Years later at a party with my Girlfriend he was there and we got talking and I noticed him and my Girlfriend talking and when I went over they went quiet. At the time I never thought much of it but after we broke up she admitted she kissed him when he went out for a fag. So he took the piss out of me twice now, which isn't very nice. I'm going to run the cunt over when I next see him. It's ate at me inside knowing this.

I had an Escort as a dog/runaround car and was planning to throw on a GTi kit, lower it and fit a set of 16" alloys.

Local guy had a set of 16" Mondeo 5 spokes for sale which were in need of a refurb, but were pretty cheap and this 'mate' of mine didn't have wonga to buy them so asked if I wanted them for my car instead and that he'd just move over and let them go... I told him that I'd take them and to tell the guy to text me, which he agreed to do. Anyway, next thing is that I hear from someone else, that this 'mate' has gone and bought the wheels for his Escort van.. wasn't a huge fan of that fact, but end of the day we got over it and I told him that he should have had the bollox to tell me himself and that mates dont just fuck off plans and arrangements to make sure they're alright.

Moving forward about 3 months, one of my pals offered me a set of brand new lowering springs for it who had them sitting in a shed doing nothing since he sold his MK6 Escort ages back.

He told me that he paid 80-90quid for them but that he'd haggle backwards from 20note for them since they were in the way and I wasn't keen on spending much/any money on this runaround, brilliant... ended up agreeing on 15quid, they were dropped at mine while I was out... and sat there for the duration of the time I was using the Escort.

I've since bought a Mondeo ST200 as a replacement for the Escort, while its hardly a minted status symbol, its not quite as council as the Escort looked... anyway, I had these springs sitting doing nothing in the garage, now no use to me.

My 'mate' had since bought a MK6 Cabrio that he was doing up for an MOT and asked if I was selling those springs (he knew exactly what I paid for them). I told him that cause I currently don't have a job, I was gonna fling them on the net/ebay etc and get reasonable money for them.. probably get around 50quid delivered for them which would come in handy at this time.

A small time later he asked again and I said that if he wanted them, then he could have them for 30quid... I reminded him that its more than I paid, but defo less than I could get advertising them on the internet.

He agreed to 30quid & fitted springs. Bought GTi skirts/spats, bought Cossie alloys for Ł200, got car MOT'd Tax'd and insured....

Next few weeks, he dodges calls, makes excuses about no money etc etc... then tells me that cause I only paid 15quid for them, he's only going to give me 15quid for them despite me reminding him that we agreed 30quid and he knew what I paid in the first place. In addition to this, quite a few people have let me know that he's been telling people that I've been trying to rip him off.. other friends who know that I'm not like that, but other people who dont know me so well that might believe the bullshit.

By this point, I'm fucking raging and tell him that I want my trolley jack (only thing he's got of mine) back and a word... told him that I'd come see him and he's started to dodge calls, make excuses, etc. I've always believed that you should never lift your hands to someone you once called a friend but this spineless wanker is really pushing his luck now that he's trying to tell people that I ripped him off. If it continues then he'll leave me no other option.

I'll happily name and shame the twat too, his username on here is scottyd, be careful if you deal with him selling you bits or he contacts you.. he's got champagne eyes and dr pepper pockets. Just ask the guys on jdm-yo, civicsportsclub and hondatech... he's a con artist cunt.


Cheers,
