RED SHARK 1990

Have any members had been scammed by this guy in Newport beach? several weeks ago i sent money for the emergency hand crank on Craigslists for the sunroof,well the A-hole cash the check and never sent the item.....His name is JAMES LESTER-1000 N.Bristol Ste.17-340 New port Beach, Ca 92660. For 35.00 dollars this Porsche owner is an A-hole.

You really have no recourse other than driving up there and throwing down with your bad self.

Rob Edwards

Hmm. Right next door to my barber. Perhaps I'll pay him a little 'visit'....

jeff spahn

Rob, just have your barber pay him a visit and take some off the top

Rob is going to need an enforcer name.

My barber is 5 foot nothing and 90 lbs wet. But she's really cute, and Vietnamese. Luan is single, maybe I should just send him up to enlist her aid....

Man, google is quick.

I did a search on his name and address and this thread came up as the only result.

I'm pretty sure James lives here in the City of Orange. I met with him and bought some parts, and he is actually a good guy, but having some hard times. I believe some years ago he bought Ed Ruiz' 928, then something bad must have happened to him because now he rides the bus.

I looked at the crank and didn't buy it, so pretty sure he does have it, but it might be he is having trouble related to the garage where he was storing things.

I don't think he is dishonest, but may be having troubles keeping commitments. Anybody meeting him I think would not wish him a harder life than what he has.

Hopefully he will get the crank to you eventually.

send the barber up .. maybe he could use a free haircut

They all need just a little bit more off the top.

On topic, just 'cuz:

The one in my car is still sealed in the original plastic bag/packaging it came in with the car new.

Rob Edwards

Pics or it didn't happen. Got a part # for the baggie?

dr bob

Don't have the camera handy. You can be my witness next time i see you.

Noticed it while rummaging through the tool area hooking the battery back up after my recent multi-week east coast freeze-a-rama in Pittsburgh. No separate part number on the bag IIRC. Should probably pull it from the car and put it safely in the spares/original parts box before someone cracks the bag and tries to use it. A vigin sunroof crank has got to be valuable.
