Mr.Gibbs,
With your permission I wish to begin an e-mail/harassment campaign against these people. I have the necessary tools in place and would gladly devote some time to this endeavor if it is agreeable.
I would of course keep you updated as to the responses.

Why the hell did he get an AA inspection done AFTER he had bought the car???? Thats plain stupid. The whole reason u get the inspection done is to check to see if the car is any good, then if not, u dont buy it.
more fool him

He noticed a weld along the chassis when he was cleaning it, though - oh shit so got it done
Yes "more the fool him" for buying a cut n shut but not everyone gets these simple checks done when buying a used car
