Anyone heard from racer_pete
Turbo Mini Forums

Paypall'd him some money over a month ago, did have a PM 2 weeks ago but nothing since and no bits yet.

Anyone else bought anything off him?

I also bought a item from him from before new year, but it did arrived today, He as only just had chance to send them out, as they were not at home over the holiday period.

I went and picked up a gearbox he had on sale, he seemed an ok lad, genuine but won't know really till it's fitted

ok... im pretty p****d off now, i txt him a few times yesterday and a few more times today! no reply, it wont be long before its been over 45 days and i wont be able to claim back my money via ebay

Not to stir or cast aspersions but it might be an idea to start a dispute now, you don't have to raise to a claim straight away.

gregh55, pete heardly text me back, its better to call him, excuse was he never had credit

just off my mobile, it was kept at a lock up in which i was lead to believe is his dads business, took him a little while to get there aswell considering my trip was peterborough to london, pretty poor service, seemed happy to take the money i can only hope the box turns out good when i finally fit it,
i did have a quick look on some other forums to find if there was a reason for splitting, looks he can run cars in, had a good spec motor looking at it but engine only lasted 300 miles before primary gear bush went, found his project thread on tmf, might be worth having a look see if he has been on there, dont really know much else but i do still have the texts

every other person on here ive had things off seem to arrive within a few days and in a few cases the next day. ive opened a case via paypal now anyway, aslong as its not just me hes ignoring :/

that be the reason why i like to go pick things up, before i give my money out

We all LIKE to do it that way, but not many of us have the time.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

I have opend a case.

When I sold my head recently, I refused to have money until I knew I could post it within a day or so. a month with little communication and unfulfilled promises is not acceptable.
