Man on a Mission

Guest
Hi,
If anyone out there in Landy Land find Land Rover or Range Rover parts for
sale in North Wales please beware.
There is a guy just outside Conwy who has about 20 Landys that he sells
parts off but the part you buy is never the part you get. He had many
bobtails etc. that he buys and sells, quite often buying a good one, taking
off all the good parts and fitting F***ED bits and selling the whole vehicle
on claiming its still fitted with all the good bits.
I found out tonight that he sold a 4.8 V8 engine out of a racer after
showing it to the guy running, he swapped it for a seized one on delivering
it to the guy and has made off with his £1,500. You will never get any money
back off him as normally he will never let you see where he lives and you
only get a mobile number for him.
He is normally advertising in Quids in and Loot.
If you do manage to get anything off him there is also a good chance its
stolen anyway, he was caught with a stolen Disco and a Range Rover on his
farm at the same time not long ago but got away with it after telling the
Police he had 'Bought them not knowing they were stolen'.
He is sometimes calling himself DJ 4x4 Spares, if you are at any events in
the NW area you will probably find him competing there.
3 years ago he sold me parts for my 90 after stealing one to sell me the
parts off (without me knowing the bits were stolen) and then taking a reward
off the owner for telling him where the stolen parts where.
If you have been had by this guy please drop me a e-mail and I can point you
in the direction of where he lives and give you his name should you wish to
contact the Police, he is well known by them having served time.

I know you're ****ed off, but this is getting dangerously close to
folks' spam threshold, which won't have the effect you want.

Prey tell Steve, as I have just looked in and passing through (perhaps not
as the case maybe)!

Has "Man on a Mission" wrote stuff like this before? Not as I look back
over the seen threads . . .

"Beware of conman" or the like by the said author.

Also, did you cut at the point of interest and focus (you're ****ed off /
folks' spam threshold) as all above look OK this end especially if you have
a slack ISP in which case the original post was not seen by many (but then
you knew that right?)!!

What effect would you have liked Steve (need I ask)?

BTW. I'm hanging around now just for the fun.

Good luck,
gARY

Yes, on three occasions in the last three weeks. Also on uk.rec.cars.4x4.

I don't drop in that often, but I've seen it 3 times, also I think on
another 4x4 NG


 
Oh, also, if U want to report him, it looks as if he's with BT


 
It might be a good idea to let the paper know where this person advertises.
I am sure that they will be interested in what you have to say !!!

Yes, at least three times.

> Not as I look back over the seen threads . . .


On 17th October he posted substantially the same message three times under
slightly different headings. Maybe you didn't look far enough.

I agree with Steve, it's becoming / has become SPAM and not doing his case
any good at all.

If it's true .. and so far we only have the words of an apparent ****wit
suggesting it is. To call oneself 'man on a mission' and then embark on a
crusade against someone described in very loose terms seems a bit strange to
me, something doesn't 'feel' right.

If it _were_ true, then a 'proper' name and address, phone number, email
address etc etc etc would lend some credibility to what moam is proposing.
If I had had a smuch trouble as the OP claims I'd certainly post chapter and
verse, named and shame, whatever .. but the references are pretty vague.

Seems to me that the OP might have a thre year old grudge 'cos he apparently
got stung for stolen parts. Methinks there's a lot more to this crusade
than there seems.

IMHO, of course .. ;)

Like a law suit for example.


 
Paul raises a good point - But then maybe Paul is the person in Wales
concerned....

Go on then "Man on a Mission" - Lets have the name, address and details of
the person in Wales !!

No, I think your spot on - Man on a mission, put your money where your mouth
is and give us the details of this dealer in Wales.

Nope .. I live in Doncaster .. though obviously you only have my word for
that. I've said it before so if anyone cares enough to google for it, it's
there somewhere .. I can't be arsed ... ;)

spammer / troublemaker / troll / ****wit ..

Nah.

Plausible, but would _anyone_ go to so much trouble ?

Actually I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who acts even remotely
like moam says this 'parts dealer' acts. In fact I'd probably be in-line to
condemn him if I knew it to be true, but I don't, so I won't .. ;)

> or am i talking as much manure as man on a mission?



Yup, thick, brown manure .. ;)

Brown and thick? that'll be pig then, Cattle is much runnier and has a
definite greenish tinge.....

But then any REAL landy owner would know that!!!
