  1. Give Gas safe a call they take bad tradesman very seriously and they might have a few other complaints about him as its not your fault he hasnt come back ....
  2. Is the Plymouth (1st pic) Chris Froggits old car ???
  3. Ring around other local gas registered plumbers near you and explain your position and name the plumber /business you will probably find most builders/plumbers etc know each other and if the bloke you used is known for being "a tradesman" who does good work then another plumber will probably sign it off ,but it might cost you a bit more or if hes know as a bit of a bodger many will leave alone....
  4. The replys to the questions are good , nice to see a seller telling it how it is
  5. The chelsea one is still hanging on my pinboard must be 15 years ?? along with the lakeside cruise one................when lakeside didnt have max power boom box boys
  6. I dont think the car gatherings will ever stop at Chelsea as for years they have tried but it still goes on though probably next month there will be a few police about giving inocent tax paying motorists hassle just because we have an interest in old modified cars,,,,,,,,,,
  7. It was just one person moaning but he was never part of the Chelsea gathering back in the good old days late 70's / 80's etc and was put right by many , i wish i had been there saturday but was getting some lotus rims for the project still will be at next one if n when it happens.......

  11. I know the feeling mate last year i had my van done 5 times in 4 weeks each time i had to plate the doors etc as locks etc ripped out then a few months later i had a bit of a dissagreement with the police and i brought it up then they told me they knew who had been doing it , a gypsie family temporily housed 2 streets away but in the police's words everythings fine now.......except i am about 2k down on tools and locks etc.............so sleeping there tonight could be the best thing......Hope you catch them
