I think I was almost screwed by him also. Was he trading under something like RSM previously?

I bought an extreme spoiler from him many moons ago, to still be waiting for it nearly a month later! BUT, I'll give him this, when I said to him that I wanted either my spoiler next day or my money back, he was straight up and gave me my money back plus a little on top for being messed around.

Either way, well done Mick for doing the right thing. I was talking just the other day to my supervisor about this forum and how it doesn't matter if you been here 5minutes or 5years, everyone is treated equally and included in everything, and the are no clique-y groups that you find on many forums these days.

I don't have my Zed anymore, but I shan't be leaving as there is such a good atmosphere here that makes everyone feel welcome.

Long may it last

WTF have I ever said "mate"?

Got a problem then out with it, don't go slagging me off in a thread about a well known conman FFS

EDIT: reported post, so we'll let admins sort this out eh, mate? You seem to be on here 24/7 and not replied yet, so take it you ain't going to.

mattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nice
I've had a few dealings with George before and only had one issue. I won a bumper from him off eBay and it arrived with damage. To be fair he refunded the cost of the bumper the next day. He also fixed my car when I had a broken strut. I had been to 3 garages before and none of them could fix it/get the correct part.
He is a nice chap to talk to face to face and is very knowledgable on all things MGR. Like others have said, he knows what he is doing, but perhaps takes too much on at a time, hence the delays.
Personally I can't fault his service but obviously there is some issues here.

You've got the wrong end of the stick, George has been known as zippy among other less pleasant names

Woh hang on a minute there mate. The reference to Zippy is in relation to 'George' from the kids show 'Rainbow'. I know for sure there is nothing aimed at you whatsoever so wind your neck in an apologise. It is just unfortunate that your username also contains Zippy so no offense was meant or any accusations towards you.

Jeez this bloke really gets under peoples skin doesn't he!

And how, exactly, does this relate to Rainbow?
"I have to admit I found have Zippy on here frustrating at times as I have to be careful not to get embrolled in arguments with him."
Not how I see it, it doesn't!

Watch out: Geoffrey, Rod, Jane and Freddie will be along in a minute to picket this thread! If you need that joke explaining, then it simply means you're in the fortunate position of being too young to remember them all!

When you read the information all will become clear. It is just unfortunate that you assumed it was directed at you purely because you have 'zippy' in your username.

When you get to the George part of the shows characters it soons becomes obvious if you know what I mean

Thanks for your post Dav, thats what we aim for, to have a Forum that anyone can come on, post for help and not worry about the replies.

As I say if you dont know something about the car, you dont know. What may be obvious to most, sometimes need a bit of help if you are new.

Hope we never are clique, pity we dont have more meets, but fuel costs, and just finding the time, means its not always possible.

Still always got Trax!!!!!
