"Name and shame is the only way to go with pricks like that! It's a shame you got the shaft I know only to well how you feel! Do you have any pics of what was done (out of interest). I'm sure you will find someone to do what you need that won't rip you,..."

"Looks good mate but I must ask, is it going to be legal to drive it on the street? or did you just keep it registered? I was under the impression you would need an engineers certificate unless you are one. And if your not judging by your work you should..."
