    The assertions about Karl Verdi might be facts or not (I don't know), but I must remind all posters that they are fully and personally responsible for the content of their posts and that there could be serious consequences for slurring the three additional parties in this manner:

    Re: Assertions about technician 1: "Lottery junkie" is an irrelevant characterization, possible defamation, and has nothing to do with technical competency.

    Re: Assertions about technician 2: Lack of "useful integrity" is also an irrelevant characterization, possible defamation, and has nothing to do with technical competency.

    Re: Assertions about technician 3: One labelled as a "convicted drug dealer" would almost certainly be entitled to sue "WhistleBlower" if not true and FerrariChat would fully cooperate in piercing WhistleBlower's ineffective attempt at anonymity if requested by proper authorities to do so.​

    Once again: posters are fully and personally responsible for the content of their posts and they can be held to account for them. While this should be remembered at all times, it is particularly important to bear in mind when discussing serious matters such as these.

    Respectfully yours,
    Andrew.

    Technician 2 : No qualifications to speak of, heavy handed, if he/she displayed any useful integrety then may well have have ended up at a dealer by now, ie. Marrenello

    Further correction – The amount of cars that have in the past been subcontracted to Verdi’s from {edit: independent} dealers for repair, would almost make it seem like a superior outfit. Also I can rebuild a F430 engine quicker than most people in the UK. Not bad for a heavy handed mechanic?. Note correct spelling of Maranello, yes I am literate too!

    Tech1 is not available at present so, let me respond on his behalf. Anyone who has worked in an MOT environment knows that work peaks and troughs, not to mention work required to fix a failed MOT. When not doing MOT’s we also repair cars that Ferrari owners use as their daily drivers. Whether people decide to play the lottery or not is their prerogative, don’t you think?

    Why not post your real name? If you are/were a technician for the fraudulent cowardly crook that is Karl Verdi, or Birdy Wirdy or whatever the f@@k it's name is, then it'll be no secret. Why hide behind a username?

    As much as I think this is absolute bull****, I'm willing to hear you out if you'd be so kind as to answer my questions...

    How recent has this happened?

    Does this still happen?

    What dealer is this from?

    What kind of jobs did the main dealers not be able to complete so handed them to you guys?

    Do Ferrari North Europe know about this?

    Do Ferrari S.p.A know about this?

    Do the owners of the cars know about this?


    Like I said, I doubt this happens, if it does, I suggest you prepare to stand by your statement, just as the Whistleblower has to, I'd imagine Karl Verdi and tech3 will be less likely to challenge his statement, as the main dealers and Ferrari NE will be yours.


    Best Regards
    Mike James

    Most of you will recognise me, I had bankruptcy proceedings against Verdi and he coughed up the money for my car that ended up in the Congo and I am aware about his arrest, his impending re-arrest and also for his son, we can all rest assured this is only the beginning. As for his "mechanics", having had 2 Testarossas and a 360 and having used several different garages for servicing, I can safely say that the work undertaken at Verdi's was nothing short of imcompetent and inept if indeed anything was actually ever done. Ever heard of a Ferrar garage changing cambelts on a Testarossa without taking the engine out, Verdi's could do this!

    Verdi said his car was not sold but the trakker said it was in the Congo. Another one just turned up in Australia that has not been paid for.

    He sold mine to a guy who was supposdely In LA, although was British and thoughtfully changed the V5 without my knowledge.

    Several people the same thing, sell it, lie that you have not sold it and then eventually come clean months or in one case a year later.

    This is not the behaviour of someone whose business is in trouble, it is fraud and theft.

    I have known Karl for 14 years now and he has serviced various V8s and V12s i have owned. Never i once had to question him about the service cost . He is a genuine bloke and i have up most respect for the guy. He has never let me down and i highly recommend servicing your car with him.
    There are always going to be some people in the forum with 'sour grapes'.

    You are a loon. He cheated me out of over 20k and several others out of 100's of thousands. I have a creditors list infront of me from the official receiver. Did you read this thread?

    Weren't you in a few newspapers a while back? Did you get tried, serve time, or was it a big misunderstanding? Perhaps it's the same situation with Verdi's?

    I have known Kuldip (his real name) for much longer, and I regarded him as a friend.
    Right up to the point where he sold my car, didn't tell me about it and then pocketed the money himself. This is not sour grapes. This is fraud and theft.

    If you feel comfortable dealing with a criminal, then get your car serviced there. But I, and many others, would rather not.
