David Tucker stirred up some **** on this site ( as Venom427), but hasnt been heard from on here for some time. Too busy trying to rip off the next person who hasn't yet heard of his reputation.
Hopefully any prospective Cobra purchaser will find this thread and avoid David Tucker like the plague.
I doubt he will ever sell another cobra kit. I hope this thread assists in making that happen.

nothing that a good knee caping cant fix
i have dealt with some shops and over the years u hear stories and once u put it all together u think
how to fk do these shops stay in business
there is only a certain amount of people u can fk up or scam over in this world
but unfortunately there is a sucker born every day
i was actually at one of these shops which at moment im paying a debt collector to get some unpaid bills sorted
well i was at that shop one day working out the front
a bunch of guys turned up to Hocko's shop (now most would know him) which was next door and sort of gave him some light touches and gave him a warning
it was all caught on video from the shop i was at heheheeh
afew years later u hear the stories and u understand y these guys paid him a visit
there is another post on the ford forums which is a good laugh about someone who kept ripping people off and not fixing warranty claims
so someone took a ford gbox and left it on his shop doorstep and the story goes on
its a wonder how they get mroe business as these days word gets around much quicker
if u do dodgey work

If it is the same guy - he's changed his phone number. 
I believe he use to have 427 & 289 in his digits.
That stood out to me for some reason. I can't possibly imagine why  |

holy cr@p its hard to believe that this sh!t still goes on ,what with all the internet and the whole world being at our finger tips with puters etc..20 yrs ago we had a bloke in brisbane who was an engine builder(his termanology)who would take clients money and race parts then sell them parts to another customer,i got wind of it one day when he did it in front of me not realising i knew who actually owned the parts he was selling ,took a few days and lots of phone calls as mobiles werent all the rage but ,a heap of of us turned up demanding to see our stuff which we knew was gone so we loaded up the trucks with all his gear ,tools to wot the dollar value we thought he had taken from us and left him standing in his own sh!t ,or what was left of it...i am sure he continued his business ,cause blokes like that can charm the scales off a rattle snake and theres always a sucker to be scammed with the dreams these guys plant in yur heads....@rseholes ...good luck with yur build,make the best of a bad thing...doc

I am not sure how involved David Tucker still is with his "company".
I know that some existing/outstanding vehicles are being assembled and preppared by another respected Cobra supplier in Melbourne.
I only hope teh new "partner" doesnt get his name tarnished by working with Tucker, but from reports I have heard, all seems to be going well.

What is it about this "business" that brings out some shady characters?

Hope you are enjoying the Backdraft Russell. I had a chance to have a look at one at the Run N Gun a few years back. Tony Martin was there campaigning the car and promoting sales etc.
Neat car.
