    "Did you want the video reinstated?" Don't insult the guys intelligence, he's clearly not happy with the joy ride video.

    I was going to back you up about how video editing can change the context of what some one says but that was before I watched the video. I'm not a ML fan but with how it's part of the story here I had to watch it to get context. It's rather damning. It's brought up that it's got issues but it's hitting the limiter 5 times? and that's just in the edit.

    I'm also a little taken back by the comment about how you've got a large contingent of people happy about it. ML really has no right to be in any customers car with out permission. I'm sure he a fun guy but he's ultimately using a customers car for work(making YT content) without the owners consent.

    The whole situation is a shambles by both of them really.

    Anyone else seen the latest ML video where Simon comes back from another customer test drive and says he got the back out at 2.5k rpm! Hes learned nothing...

    This did make me laugh after all these posts, but im keeping out.
    For what its worth, Dont think ML is to blame at all with any of this, he gets given rides or keys with permission of whoever is in care of the car.

    Hes still removing reviews. Just noticed the review on Yell.com has been taken down. Review sites just arn't fit for purpose when the person being removed can just have them taken down.

    Yell is dodgy as fuck anyway, they're well know for inventing loads of fake negative reviews then trying to charge business owners to have them removed.

    Thankfully they're not particularly big in this country so can't operate that racket very well.

    The fact Jap West Mods is still running after the amount of dodgy deals/missing money etc etc is ridiculous. You only have to look in this thread to be put off for life.

    They have good SEO and a well put together website. I've been looking at JZX parts and typically whatever I throw in puts JWM's store on the first page typically after RHDJapan and Nengen etc.

    I didn't realise anyone actually used Yell?

    From what I've heard in the states they usually charge a fee to remove negative reviews, wouldn't be surprised if they do the same here too.
