[QUOTE="Phil Davies, post: 117615, member: 2541"] Hello Joe, Bob stopped answering the phone many years ago, because he was fed up with people asking when their job would be finished. Bob stopped answering his email not long after he stopped answering the phone, because he got fed up with people sending him emails asking when their job would be finished. Unless you already have parts at Bob's workshop it is a waste of time to even try to get him to do anything these days. If you already have parts at Bob's then you need to turn up in person in the morning of a day to either collect your (probably unfinished) parts or to make sure he does something to them for which you have already paid him!! As apparently even 35+ years of friendship no longer counts towards getting your paid for work completed. Bitter, twisted - me?? (sadly). I say all the above with huge regret, because Bob, apart from being a truly great person, was in his day, easily the greatest and most gifted Engineer ever to have repaired Vins since the factory. Pity he was always as rubbish at business as he was great at engineering. [/QUOTE]
