If Simon has said a few months ago that the engine was sent, and yet it wasn't, that would be lying no? In fact he told Wolfy three weeks ago that the engine would be delivered, and it still hasn't been sent, another lie, no?
Personally (and this isn't TMF's view being expressed here), I'd go so far as to say that until this engine (and other people parts that have taken many many months to arrive) arrives, you could go so far as to call Simon a thief! But I won't!
I for one stand behind Prawn 100%.
As other have said, some people might be jumping on the bang wagon, and "you always hear about people complaing, but no one ever shouts when they receive good customer service". Well on the flip side, as has also been said, you don't get threads like this about MED, DSN Classics, KAD, SC Components, etc. And there have been quite a number of threads in which Minispares, etc have been praised for good service. From what I've read of TMF, and a few other Mini forums, there seem to be more bad topics about Morspeed now than good.
