His work looks superb. Customer service extremely questionable. Not the only one though.....

There have been a lot of mumblings about this being the way it goes with him, something about ford parts he didnt deliver as well. Norbo I believe also placed some orders too and has been quiet on the subject. Sigh... I guess Mark is a one man band, but people should stop sending him money until customers receive some products. Its starting to sound like another TSS to those of us who have been here for a few years

For those who don't know, he hasn't started any of the arms that deposits have been taken for, myself and norbo have discussed this further, norbo is fuming, and I totally agree with norbo, Mark has upset a few folk, with empty promises and deadlines not met,he gets defensive to the point of bieng abusive, not a way to do business, I've spoken to a few guys in the ford area seeing as how I work for Ford, live ford's, and know a few in the ford tuning game ect and he's upset many folk there too,not sure if he's tried to get as much work in as poss but he can't deliver, can't expect people to wait years for work to be rushed and half assed finishes , so just a heads up if you've been waiting months for your ordered arm be prepared for the sting as I've heard only bad things,, sorry guys but the truth needs to be said,,,

last I heard/saw he was messing on with dry clutch conversions for RG500 engines, a good friend of mine nearly got dragged into another caper with the frames he is doing, thankfully he called me (initially wanting me to get involved in supply engine parts etc), but then I enlightened my friend as another good friend has been in the "Ford" world for a long time and the guy has form, none of it good from what I can tell, no question he has great fabircation and machining skills, but customer support/delivery is far from ideal

I believe he has good intentions, but just cannot deliver. I used to think he was some sort of busy fool and sort of got himself into these "situations" but i am now thinking he is in too deep this time. There is other money "stuff" that is not my place to talk about, but from what i have been told its a bit like a deck of cards.

oddly enough, I've just seen a post from a mate of mine who hnas just taken delivery of his frame kit for his YPVS engined bike, so maybe, just maybe, they are going to be delivered sometime soon...... would be a nice surprise for those waiting/sweating in the hope they get what they paid for
