There is a supposed Mark 1 Cooper S block being auctioned on eBay that includes references to me and my business in the item description that are simply untrue. The work attributed to me is incorrect. I don't know why the seller has done this. When I try to contact them to discuss they refuse to take my call.

I suggest you do due diligence. If you wish to talk to me about this you can contact me here - (02) 9630-2195

I've always thought the listings by "thunderboxracing" seemed dodgy.

Just noticed the listing in question has the address as the pickup suburb. Someone doesn't know how to use eBay

I've bought quite a few parts from him and had absolutely no drama, his listing that GR has issue with may be based on info he was given from someone else.

Reading the item description, Peter might need to check his blood pressure soon.

100% positive feedback I see. Not everyone can say that.

I never had a drama with this seller and would buy from him again.

Gosh what a coincidence considering the other discussion we've been having today. I have found Peter to be very realistic and honest in his pricing and has some terrific old stock which he has sourced from overseas. On the other hand, I wouldn't agree with his recommendation for an engine builder. If I wanted someone to work on my engine, I'd take it to Graham Russell who has the necessary qualifications to do such work.

Evening All, looking at some of the posting I wonder why Mr Russell would bid on the engine block and not pay as per the picture AJ put up Hes Back,
Dont see its good for North Rocks reputation,
See eightfifty has bought items from thunderboxracing and was told he was very happy with his part/parts ?

Dingo, I notice that this is your first post. Welcome to Ausmini. One thing I must say is that anyone can call themselves anything on Ebay. The bidder actually might not be Graham Russell that we all know.

I was going to say something there, but he has been a member since 2020 it would seem.

I didn't and wouldn't bid on this block as I have better blocks at my disposal. It seems my eBay account was hacked. I don't know by who but have my suspicions.
