Thorin Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 No Jamie I don't. I remember Mr TLicense in particular having several issues with JDP, I also remember reading that JDP would not be allowed to trade on the forum. Hiten, Turbofit folded and 3 of the ex-turbofit guys went to work for JDP IIRC, including Greg. It was all very cosy and convenient and a lot of it all got denied by JDP at the time I believe.

Yea i remember something about Tonys post but didnt think we was talking several thousand pounds? ive not been down there in a long time but i still talk with pete the old boy mechanic from turbofit and last time i spoke to him at xmas he told me les had got rid of all the ex TF team, makes no odds to me just wondered where the several thousand pounds came from and i dont know if even Tony asked for a refund?

Class One Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 JDP threatened the forum with legal action, so I'm quite surprised by the new fanboi club developing for them of late. Seems some people have short memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 yep - i definitly have one of those. thanks for the reminder oh and im not a member of their fanboi club, i just read the feature yesterday and liked the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Why cant JDP be judged on their own merits, as opposed to Turbofits downfalls. I have used JDP and have not had any problems with them and all work has been 100%, so i have no reason not to like them AND IIRC JDP had a reason to threaten legal action did they not? As libelous statements were being made about them, by people who just jumped onto the bandwagon. I dont want to start/ restart an arguement, but i think people need to remember that JDP and Turbofit are and always have been separate entities, yes Les did take on Turbofit staff on a trial period, but none of them are still there now as they were not up to scratch Edited May 29, 2008 by jacko (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used JDP and have not had any problems with them and all work has been 100%, so i have no reason not to like them I remember reading the same about TF before I ended up having my car worked on by them, taken hours and hours of work to put right the issues before my rebuild could even begin, I dont think JDP's attitude at the time was very appropriate considering how many members had issues with TF and how they recruited the TF team and allowed the TF team to ignore the issues and threatened the forum etc I am sure JDP are doing some good work, but I would never use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
