When I made purchases from Radioguy I was instructed that I should send the payment to a particular PayPal account, that being Tony Fry.
Sean has engaged in a massive fraud as he was prominent on just about every forum for every marque and also took many payments in advance of actually receiving goods to sell.
Unfortunately I suspect the total amount of money owed to buyers runs into thousands.

Luckily I did receive what I bough, however it was plagued with problems and never worked properly.

Tony was a member here some while back who was more than a little handy when it came to modding ICE equipment and other aspects of "our" cars. I met him at a couple of meets and he was a genuinely nice guy.

He gave me a customised version of Primo for my headunit for free, as well as a little programme for the head unit that allowed it to display a customised speedometer. I remember on one occasion when I was chatting to him, someone took the liberty of sitting on his car bonnet. Tony pressed a button on a small remote and his car started up . The guy on the bonnet moved pretty quickly!

From memory, I think he swapped his '75 for a Chrysler 300.

Cool, thanks for letting me know, I never had a issue with him it was just Sean who was a pain to deal with, I remember when I did eventually receive the head unit it failed a few months later and so I never had any other dealings with him.

Tony used to do the sd cards for satnav and customised screen savers. Mine was the 75 badge on walnut 😎

The last time I read anything on this trader was that someone had tracked him down to living on the border somewhere between America and Canada.
He was not a nice chap to deal with. A lot of people got their fingers burnt.

yes and he always liked money paid upfront and never ever liked using paypal as im sure there would have been alot more holding to account over this. he used to say regarding paypal " i dont want to make the rich even richer " many have been stung on here and left poor old coolcat to face the backlash. on a personal note i bought at least 9 items from him and never had a problem. so you could say i have been extremely fortunate. i always had the feeling he may have split up with his wife and maybe this started all of this dishonesty but does not excuse this bad and very unfair practice of shafting folks. i only emailed him a few times through his p.m on here and on his website either ordering or chasing my orders but he would always say "a happy life is a happy wife " but who knows what happened either way it was very bad.
