He's a good bloke, just didn't tolerate tosspots - probably why he sacked this place off.

He didn't like others trading either, taking trade away from him

There was always a conflict of interests with him being on the team, same with Ant.

Dealt with Chris on numerous occasions, always found him spot on as a trader.
Fair prices and quick delivery.

Never had an issue with him as a Mod either.

Others may have a different view on him. Ce la vie.

Indeed, he was a real credit to the Zone and assisted me no end of times with helpful advice. He even used to include fitting instructions for any parts I purchased from him such as electric sunroof and rear headrest kits. His spares and parts were always top quality, well packaged and quickly dispatched.

We need more people around like Chris. He was a credit to the zone and an honest, easy guy to deal with. Doubt he'd like all the back biting / stabbing and two faced nonsense that goes on now though to be honest.

5/6 years ago ther were not that many traders or people breaking e30's

IIRC there was some sort of conflict between him and spadge.

I never dealt with chris on that level but for me, im sure he is a decent enough person buy his moderating style was as bad as wills

Him and tylerma certainly had it in for me along with some others who banned me for 2 years. I will add for the record it was tylerma who was the main man in handling me my ban.

Sounds like normal harmless banter. So what did you do / say that got you banned ? :)
