HOGDEALER

Thanks for the name of the attorney. It makes it easier for me to have any of my clients doing business in Texas to avoid him at all costs.

Assuming everything is as alleged, then Roy is certainy liable to your friend for many things. As to whether he is guilty of any crime, I will not opine as it is something for the prosecutoirs to investigate.

However, I have a great deal of trouble reading this and not screaming total disbelief that attorneys and/or friends would have allowed this go on so long, and then offer more money! Blind faith for such gratification, which, according to the facts as you relayed them, occurred well before your friend learned his time was short, is difficult to support.

This BS about a label has gotten to be just plain phuking stupid at this point, and not just for your friend. Sorry, but there is far more going on than just your friend's situation, which, although curious to say the least, is undoubtedly sad.

The fact that more money was even offerred to Roy at this point is beyond belief. Since you have evidently adopted your friend's persona, were you the one who responded to Roy and offerred the money? While a "former" attorney, have you forgotten everything you learned? Have you or Texas counsel even considered going in and getting the car as it is so that there is something secure. If you're willing to throw more money...another shop could finish it. Just what the heck are you waiting for? More assurances from a Shelby dealer?

I suggest the best thing you can do for your friend is get him new and adequate counsel...he needs someone to protect his interests at some point before he passes.

I am damn angry for your friend...and not just at Roy.

Glad someone is stepping in. I'm sure the Kirkham's will be criticized by some as taking advantage of the situation. Their willingness to do such deeds in the past speaks for their credibility.

Shelby had way more than enough time to do something...and utterly failed. They had their chance...they always have chances...and they just keep blowing it. Shame.
