If they put half as much into honest work they would be more successful and have a heck of a lot less stress.

Not that oggie would fall into that category.

I have no way of knowing whether or not "oggie" and his post is legitmate, however I am a member of www.armyranger.com (we have a forum there as well) and on that site our site administrators can (through the I.P. address) when a post is submitted figure out the location of the messenger and thereby determine if it is someone being dishonest when they have been banned from the site and attempt to login with a new name.

It seems to me that if a person has been building AC Cobra Replicars over a 25 year period they'd learn how to do it right. Again I'm only the website designer, but it troubles me when people tend to slander his name without all of the "Complete Details". I don't know the specifics concerning Mr. Rich Lihou's car however one thing that he admits to is that Mr. Holliday offered to fix the problems (he forgot to mention that another mechanic rewired the car incorrectly and screwed it up) now I can't prove that for it was told to me and can only be considered heresay, however the person he sold the car to in fact had the problems fixed by Mr. Holliday's son and the car ran very well.

This is key

If this is true then why didn't it take that long to make the repairs after the car was sold?

Those are undisputed facts plain and simple, the repairs were made, the car was quoted to have run very well and the new owner was pleased. It sucks when only one side of a story is told and people "make blanket" assumptions without being objective. I thought this was a site populated with adults.
