I always buy domains from http...

Re: Edition User Ripped me off - help please

I'd have no problem doing that but chances are they'd laugh in my face considering it was almost a year ago I sent the cheque off? Take him to small claims court mate. Don't worry about the fact a year has gone by, you've got 6 years to make a claim for breach of contract (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Re...

Re: weird engine noise

Re: Guys - Do we need a new sub-forum for the new-new-new Polo?
