i think this has been blown out of proportion. Fred was merely suggesting that there were other options, as he lived fairly close he could pop over for a chat about it. dont see any harm in that? if its not as cheap/good then dont use YS! tbh freds always helped me out, and ive seen him do the same for others and if that means he maybe posts up about a few products then so be it, i dont care and its worth it for the help he gives. didnt see you posting on Ben's angelworks thread Jesus...?!
Maybe it has yeah, but that's how I feel on it, especially where GDI is in the thread title you can guarantee Fred's there offering his services, that's my point. My full inbox of people that also think this and are affraid of being flamed goes some way to support this, but the difference is I dont give a monkeys what people think of me, I call it like I see it.
And what about Ben's Angelworks thread? I didn't notice Ben come on here offering his services and work out to someone asking about GDI products or have I missed something? I've taken my last car to Ben and over 4+ years of Clio ownership have tried MANY of Clio tuners mentioned on here and ones that aren't... whether people agree or not I don't care, but having "been there and done that" I'm in a position to say. If you're on about the inlet thread I didn't bother reading it, I've got inlet work done, but there is a difference between blowing your own horn on your own thread and doing it on any and every thread not started by yourself...
Fred, yes, you help people, for that I commend you... but in your 20'000 posts it would be naive to think this is not to help yourself... come, lets come back down to reality here for a minute
