Yes it does Chris! And the real sad thing is another forum member took it upon himself to find out who this guy is and walla! He works for a place called MB Works or close to that and from the info he is associated with racing. The guy found him using Google and found a website he works for and even has a picture of the guy! I sure hope that this is all a huge misunderstanding because it sure sours my attempt at racing when there are people in racing with this behavior. Call me naive but all the racers I have met all seem to have a common bond....respect if nothing else but to see these thieves in the racing world sickens me!! TIA! D

Update.....The guy works at MB World at the address I sent the MO to. An email has been sent to the business owner to advise him of fraudulent activities taking place at the business. This should create a response being that I can now implicate MB World even if they are not involved! I will post when I get any reply! TIA all! Dallas

I have heard of this guy before, about a year ago. I bought my 944 from Holt Motorsports in West Chester. When I initially emailed them for more details, the email came back from a Stephen Steenberge.

Not sure if there is a link between MB World and Holt Motorsports. The Holt website is http://www.holtmotorsports.com/.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Holt seems to be a one man show. It's run by Tim Holt (he is involved in racing - hence the motorsport in the company name I guess). Stephen is a young guy (early 20s who seems to be his "helper") He did seem to be helpful and friendly - hope it's all a misunderstanding.

D-Man,
I hope it works out for you. I was merely going to stop by and see what was going on, as its much easier to delete an email or hang up on a phone call, but its much harder when its face to face...
Let us know what happens!

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the late reply but I can definitively state that Stephen works for Tim Holt at Holt Motorsports. His address is : stephen steenberge [holtmotorsports@yahoo.com]. Stephen was always pleasent with me but unfortunately I had a car purchase that went sour with Holt . Buyers beware with these guys.

...Roger

I think he hangs on Pelican. He e-mailed me a few months back wanting some parts. Was real quick with wanting me to ship the parts next day without even talking about payment. Had a bad feeling, just left it alone. Glad I did !!!
