Hmmmm

I've found that decent companies will try and send you a digital photo so you can make your mind up.

NO But did the same as you They said they had lost of new std Escos stuff but all they had was scrap stuff, all in barn type buildings not good at all.

although i did buy a RS500 cooler and a T34 and a New lower Escoss spoiler but all the other stuff they had was well past it.

had the same about 18 months ago with atm ,we asked if he had any slicks to sell ,yes was the reply got all sizes in 17 inch ,so i asked around and got orders for over 30 tyres of my mates,arranged a van ,just to make sure he was there before we set off on a 180 mile journey i called atm and was told he was away on buisness so i said we are coming to collect some slicks ,the guy dident know anything about this ,so i asked him to check if there was some 17inch slicks put on one side for me, and he imformed me they havent had any 17inch slicks for ages ,so i could have done about Ł100 for a wasted journey ,put me right off atm for ever
just my thoughts on atm

They've been advertising diff plate kits in the for sale section with this pic, and stating its a 'diff plate kit'
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...2/P1260018.jpg

so who else out there would expect to recieve exactly what they see in the picture?
i thought id get the longer studs, nuts and washers with it being a 'kit'

But only the plate itself turned up, ive tried making contact since receiving the plate and dont seem to get anywhere, even left a response against there post and i know theyve been online since but yet they dont reply!


Bit annoying!

He only had 3 at the show I saw him, he posted the other one as promised, so all good here.

I got one as well. Even though I clearly said on my post they DO sell some good stuff (sean bought some quality suspension) You just have to be very careful with their description of parts.

I ordered a steering colomn for my cossy.
Andy quoted me two days on the 2 nd hand one.
I got it sent through next day and it was BRAND NEW. I didn't complain.
Best Ł75 ever spent thanks.
Shame to hear negative views from everyone else though

Had the same problem with ATM motorsport I brought some std escort blue injectors from them only fit for throwing in the bin when they arrived, I have pm'd STU about it, if everyone that's had trouble with these people complain then perhaps we can stop them trading on passionford.
If you see any parts for sale by andyt6762 make sure you see them before you buy.

yep, i got an snotty response of a PM aswell

"do not come here again if you are just going to slag use !! i have not seen your mail to ask about the stud but if you would have just asked you would have got them"

my only querry now is... why should i ask for something if its advertised that way????
maybe im being stupid but i dont remember asking Ronald McDonald to give me a bun when i order my big mac.. as thats the way its advertised for sale!

"do not come here again" - No worry of that andy - youve lost my custom!
