I take it this is Calum?
I totally agree with your first statement, there was no car agreement made for settlement of Lees' invoice, because I paid him cash, which Lee insisted on, I now know why.
What did or didn't happen in my private family life is of no concern or business of yours or anyone elses, and whist I wouldn't usually reply to things of this nature, I would love for my name to be cleared of the foul things people have got into their head about me.
It cost me my marriage because Lee Dent told my wife I owed him over £2000.00, Lee made up the figures because I threatened him with police action because I could not get in touch with him to collect my cars. Unfortunately I was side tracked and had to put all my money into the divorce and could not afford solicitors for both.
Now, we lived in a semi detached house, there were 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, a living room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, bedroom and bathroom downstairs. There was also a garage built onto the side of the house.
The bathroom and bedroom that were downstairs were built for me because I am disabled and use a wheelchair, would you agree with the fact that I have a disability and use a wheelchair Calum?
So, this being the case, I had a bedroom, a bathroom, a conservatory, and a garage that was converted into a kids study room and a utility room to hide all these thousands of pounds worth of parts where my ex wife wouldn't see them. Where do you suggest I hid them Calum, behind the couch? And how the hell do you suppose I sneaked all these thousands of pound worth of parts into the house from the confines of my wheelchair without my ex seeing? Yes I had a few Zed parts that I had collected, I think most Zed owners will have, they were stored in the very front of my garage in a space of approximately 6ft x 2ft, and is where Keith picked them up from. But to claim it was thousands of pounds worth of parts is just way over the top.
Saying this, my ex wife is very good at claiming these things, she even told her solicitor that I paid thousands of pounds for disability equipment I purchased, two electric wheelchairs, and a roof top box that stores my wheelchair on the roof of my car, you have seen me use one very much like it, the sad fact is that the thousands of pounds that I am supposed to have paid for these items actually turned out to be £400, all verifiable through eBay, however with the type of person she is, she will not allow me to have these essential pieces of disability equipment. So you see my ex wife is prone to exaggeration from time to time.
I take it that I never had money of my own? I was spending my ex wife's money? My ex wife was on slightly more money than I was on when I started work in the Ambulance Service, but this was only for a matter of a few months, and was back in 1983, after that I have always been on more money than my ex wife. My ex wife is moaning because I took control over my own money to stop it being spent on alcohol and cigarettes. I am surprised she hasn't mentioned to people that I had to equip my bedroom as a kitchen too, because she had stopped buying me food, I was never made a meal, I therefore had to purchase kitchen equipment in order for me to feed myself and purchase my own food, the reason why I had to take control of my own money, she neglected to tell people any of this, but my solicitor has her summed up.
Any parts that I dropped off at Lee Dents garage were told to and quoted for a price for fitment usually via PM's on here or text between my mobile phone and his, as Lee was never contactable by telephone. I thought that people were in business to carry out work for others who are paying to have said work carried out, if Lee really wasn't getting paid to do the work I asked him to do, why did he not stop doing it?
Can you tell everyone who exactly I told to f**k off and to take me to court and I will pay you £5 per week, I take it that this statement like most of my statements is provable Calum, it is extremely libelous this statement that you have made.
Can you please forward me a list of customers cars that I routed through and stole car part from please Calum? I would like to contact these owners to see if indeed they were missing the items you will send me in your list of the customers cars I stole from. I think judging by this case that if anyone was stealing parts off customers cars it was far from me.
I have seen people saying that I have done things like this to other garages, I have seen that it was Fords or Triumphs. Let me put people straight on this. I have not owned many Fords, they were never my cup of tea, and the ones I have owned were either new or close to it, the best being a Ford Explorer. I have never had to have work carried out on the Fords I have owned other than routine maintenance, services and the likes, they were always carried out at a Ford dealer, are you seriously trying to say I didn't pay a Ford dealer?
The other car make I have heard I did this to was Triumph, I have owned quite a few Triumph's, seperate chassis variety such as Triumph Heralds and Triumph Spitfires, I did almost all of the maintenance on these cars myself, as this is going back to when I was able. One particular Spitfire needed a new engine, and I got Totally Triumph in Cheshire to do that work for me, the owner of Totally Triumph at the time was a bloke called Max, he actually owned a Z31 which he had restored to a great standard. Anyway, Totally Triumph did the work, it cost me £650.00 and upon completion of the work Totally Triumph and Max were paid in full, I am sure if Max is still there he would be more than happy to verify this, if he isn't, I'm sure there will be a record of it somewhere. What I do suggest to the people that think or have been told that I have done this type of thing before, to go away, obtain the verifiable facts such as the name of the garage, the name of the person that did the work, and get back to me with these details, so I may do any explaining there is to be done, but I won't hold my breath, as I have never not paid for anything in my life.
Finally Calum, would you please tell me if you remember going to London in Keith's VW Sharran to collect a breaker? It turned out that you couldn't get the breaker onto the trailer, and instead of staying somewhere local for the night and trying to get the car the following day, you made me drive all the way back to Shrewsbury, and we had to go and collect the car with Lee Dent, we had bacon butties at a lovely member of this forum, I cant think of her name now off hand, but we had tea and bacon butties off her twice, and left the car trailer at her place so we didn't have to tow it back and forth. Please tell me you remember this fact Calum, I think I actually catalogued my journeys for Zeds and Zed parts on here, so it won't be too hard to prove, but thought you could save me the time looking if you say you remember it. Please get back to me with your answer Calum.
Cheers
Ian
