To cut a long story short....
Done some work on a car for someone that used to work with me in the 90's, i let him take the car and bring the money down the next day. He didn't come >:(
He mugged me off for ages and couldn't pay. I remembered he used to race Bmx's BITD, 'do you still have your bike' i say, 'yes' he said, 'i'll take that as payment and cut my losses then' i say, 'OK it's at my dad's i'll get it for you' he said.
He continues to mug me off for six months not answering my calls:knuppel2: :knuppel2:
Today i was passing his dad's (who i have know longer than him), i pulled up for a chat ;)
LOOK WHAT I WALKED AWAY WITH....

If it was the original colour i would agree. I'm not so sure with that dodgy paint job, it's too personal :-\

Nice 'score'. If the guy owed you money I guess its a fair deal. Is debt collection/being a balif gonna be a new line for you Steve? If so I have a couple of deals you could work on for me ;)
