Exactly why I did not waste my time before now? I have a proper job, I do not sit and readd forums day and night like some of you, I heard about this rot and decided to see for myself. like I said a bunch of idiots. Carry on. Most of us have better things to do. Just make sure you can prove every nasty word,!! Just shows the class of customer, sadly so! Funny how all my works always been done, even if it took longer at times. I won't go anywhere else. I wait and get it done and it never gives me any trouble.

If he was so bad why is he still around and has he lived in Gloucestershire for 13 years?? He is not running, because he has nothing to hide? Bad **** happens to good people and he has had it worse than most, all you idiots would have jumped of a bridge by now if you had to cope with some of his health and real life dramas. So get over yourself. He is nothing like you describe and I think you all know it.!!
Now this post poses a few questions. Is this your doing Marc? Or is it your wife or a close family friend? Because I've read this post a number of times and it seems to me this was not written by a 'car' person. I quote 'bad s##t happens to good people' how can Marc be described as a good person when he has caused so much upset in so many peoples life's? You talk about health issues but don't you think that living the life he has been living is not the cause? Always trying to keep one step a head of all his victims. I quote again' he's lived in Glousester for 13 years and he's not running' but he does run and he does hide because if he hadn't we would not be posting on this thread. I can guarantee you now that the only reason he is still about is because of his wife and child. Again you say he's been in Gloustester for 13 years but he disappears for a weeks on end sleeping in cars and industrial units until the dust settles. I know for a fact he plays the woe is me card to anyone who will listen but to you guys I say this, this man is a very manipulative and convincing man who has made a living at it so beware that he maybe lying to and manipulating you. In Marc's eyes he's do nothing wrong but please for the love of God dozens of people can't all be wrong.

I've refrained from posting on this thread up to now as I was sure 'Marc' would be reading it. However let's get a few things straight about Marc the super duper mechanic. Why did he spend ages hanging about Powerstation begging them for a job?
If he was that good he wouldn't need to be on somebody's employment. Marc was at best seen as a clown by Powerstation. Harmless chancery.
Failing to get a job there why did Marc then pass himself off as the dyno operator at Powerstation? Duping people and telling blatant lies. Compromising Powerstation's reputation.
What about the time Marc crossed the wrong people and ended up in hospital? Can you shed any light on that?

I hope this scumbag gets his comeuppance, and nobody else is unfortunate enough to be sucked in, I feel every bad experience people should be made aware of, I myself was duped by another so called specialist last year, but in all fairness too embarrassed to admit it, by reading this thread I am gathering that there could be hundreds of unfortunate victims,

For a solicitor your grammar sucks, first give away.

How did you come about "hearing of this thread"? Do you drive a Subaru? As Marc is now famous on more than one forum, so why choose ours?

Just to further Maz's comments on Powerstation, apparently he left there at his own accord and also informed us he done work for litchfields, fair to say when I spoke to powerstation they literally laughed and said "still about is he" and assured us they wouldn't touch him and knew who he was.

Also Marc ohh sorry I mean ROB if the bellend is as straight as you make out where is the op's car he promised yesterday? No doubt something arose again refraining him from delivering the car.

Also Marc no no I mean ROB if he's such a legit guy why was he sending us videos along with text messages telling us the car was complete and the video showing "A CAR" flying up and down the road? When the car turned up on the back of a flat bed lorry with nothing done to it at all apart from being ripped to pieces, shall I continue? By the way I'm trying to source the video he sent along with messages just to prove your a lying mother ****** making out he's a ferkin saint.

You're gonna get what's coming to you Marc, you've upset way to many people and still thinks it's acceptable

As for living in Gloucester for 13 years LOL! Out of cars, hotels, hospitals etc maybe and your wife is just as bad covering for all the **** as well hopefully they pull her down with you conspiracy and all that How many times did you say she had left you again? Must be glutton for punishment her. Also why does the circle of hate extend so far? Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Blackwood............. That really is some love for your work hey

Sad thing is you believe it all, you really must have a sad life you príck.

And the plot thickens, it sounds like he's a dreamer and a chancer and no wonder he has "health issues" with everyone on his tail trying to recover what he owes. Time to deport the c*nt back to South Africa

There's plenty of people on here been ripped off by so called specialists, me included, no need to be embarrassed because you put your faith in someone and got screwed, they're the ones that should be ashamed of themselves, as the subject of this thread is about to discover "what goes around, comes around"

the police wont be interested as to get a conviction involves a lot of effort and police work, which they arent interested in as all the care about is statistics.

far easier to catch a speeder or someone not wearing a seatbelt.

only time they will be interested is if someone does catch up with marc and give him a slap, the first thing his like do is run to the police screaming and the way the law is it will be the person who slaps him that ends up in court.

i have dealt with con man as-well and so havre many others i know who still have not received there cars or engines back,this is not just subarus this is evos, skylines, autograss and race cars aswell

this man is the biggest low life ever, taking away spmeones pride and joy and hard earned cash, he had my car for 2.5 years it started with just adding a bit more power, then he starts showing you shinny parts and promising more and more. (the quickest car in the area as i was told)

it started with him wanting 500 pounds to get the build going, within a week he was on the phone saying im ordering some bits from states i need a £1000 cause these bits in the uk are triple the price and that im doing a bulk by so i get it cheaper, before i new it i had handed him nearly 10000 with nothing to show for it, expect falling out with loved ones and friends.

months go on still nothing to show i turn up at his house and my cars not there its in a hanger, all reved up ready to get ya car back within mins he talked you around (bull**** baffles brains)

finally cars coming back this week, then its next week, then its a problem with the manifold it does not line up with the up pipe on clearance. story after story.

then he turns up with mot certificate but surprise surprise the engine had to come out cause of problem, but he could not go into detail, or show me car or engine

then found out through the trade that my car did not even go to test it was a dial an mot,

there is loads more stuff to say but can not say to much,

finally i got my car back i thought it was a big relief then the next lot off trouble started, i find that my alarm has been cut out within a few days off having it back i was being followed had numerous attempted thefts (i had a new alarm fitted)

I ended up dealing with Worcestershire C.I.D and passed on all information to them regarding the car and him.

Conclusion form my self and police the cars was built to order, and was advised to sell the car.

Second Subaru arrived a couple of months later bought a completely standard new age sti so i thought, day i got it home i had a phone call of him, he new were i had got it from the spec, all the details and also that it was tuned a limited edition and what bhp it was running.

Hope this bloke get caught karma's a bitch
