Andy Backhouse and my Ebay feedback

[M4carp]

I'm impressed you had a car like that at 18 - my car at that age was a clapped out VIVA HB Deluxe ("deluxe" meant it had a heater and carpets!)

Ha ha, yeah I was on my dads insurance. He wasn’t happy
My wife had a lovely Viva , the 2 door Coca Cola bottle shape one 2 doors.
Had a 2 door mk3 cortina first, wish I still had that

For the noobs here can someone give us a brief synopsis of the history of this guy, such that we can avoid him in future?

How brief would you like it?

He does shoddy work while claiming 'restoration' quality and is utterly shameless about it. He also sockpuppets in his own defence, lies like it's going out of style and has a major personality problem, and you should never deal with him.

Less than briefly: https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/very-irritating-noise-from-my-getaway.43835/ - scroll down to the first post by 'biglouieuk' and enjoy the pages of incredible bull****, along with tons of evidence from someone he ripped off, and the quality of his 'work'.

Nobody reads feedback on eBay. They just looks at the % positive feedback.

So the fact he left you a negative comment on a positive feedback link is nothing to worry about.

If people did look at feedback seriously over pinballs I know of some you wouldn’t buy off!

He has a “restored” Whodunnit coming up for sale I think. So one to avoid.

I’m more interested in the P5 Rovers I used to be into P6 V8’s and did loads to them, had a rear blowout on the M40 near High Wycombe at about 140 twenty odd years ago and will never forget it

He must be desperate for the money, loads of people about who don’t give a flying ***k like this.

This is the last P5 I owned

Some great memories of old cars, back in the '80s/early 90's had 4 different p6's, had a 2.2tc, then 3 different v8's, the last one was ex police car, so was manual gearbox, (3.5s) & still had big calibrated police speedo in middle of dashboard, but no power steering (apparently was better driving at speed!)
Also had a Vauxhall Magnum , which had souped up 2.3 l engine.
Don't get me started on old Triumphs, as had a few of them too

I’m rather disappointed that a W?D has made it into his hands to be “restored”.

Nice job! I was sent out in a car once banger racing and my mates didn’t have enough fuel in it so about 1 lap in and it cut out. I just didn’t have a clue what to do, tossers
Think it was Bovingdon, back in 90’s.

My wife used to paint "no brain = no pain" on the boot of my cars, spent 10 years smashing cars up, happy days

Is that an Andy Backhouse full restoration before he got into pinball?
