The Gas Monkey thread is closed now, and I was going to leave it that way, as Jon said Its a free world, if they want to steep themselves in filth then so be it.

But another far darker aspect has reared its ugly head, darker even than the X-Ray article.

Mr. Andrews likes to frequent web sites where he will come in contact with children. He joins, but makes no posts, he just wants access to young members through personal messages and chat-rooms, he even poses as a young person himself, as shown here where he describes himself as a "Junior Member"
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cach...uk&ct=clnk&cd=9

I don't know the law in Texas, but here in the UK, grooming children is an offence and part of the sentence would be adding his name to the Sex Offenders Register.

Why did you leave Brighton, England Mr. Andrews. Since a Green Card is next to impossible to obtain in England, I assume you don't have one, how about a Visa, no, I thought not, how about a work permit, are you one of those "Illegals" I keep reading about, I'm sure someone over there could find these things out.

Your sexual orientation is a matter for yourself to consider, but when you go looking for children and young people on the web, I think others are going to take a close interest in you Mr. Andrews.

Now we know why GMG is trying to appeal to the youth market here, and it makes me wonder why Kyle and the others from Youngrodders were so quick to jump in and defend their position...

i AM SURE HOTRODDERS.COM AND IT'S MEMBERS HERE DO NOT WANT TO BE THE LATEST MYSPACE OR FRIENDSTER FOR SEXUAL PREDATORS TO FIND THEIR NEWEST VICTIMS!!!

It's all over the news, people. Just yesterday, my local paper had not one but 2 stories about predators using Myspace to find and seduce young girls. As the father of an 8 yr old I am appalled at this. My daughter loves to go to car shows and check out the other hotrods that many of you have built, it sickens me to think that our family-oriented hobby is the latest target for the pornography industry. How many of YOU want to think of your child getting involved in the porn industry by the people they have met or look up to at a hotrod event?

I was involved with taking a friend to the hospital yesterday and part of today, and I was hoping my initial thought when Mosstrooper posted the porn link was just a fluke. Now the whole thing is clear.


And for the record I would rethink whether GMG and Richard Rawlings and Coker Tire/Newstalgia wheel would WANT to show up at ANY future hotrodding events or shows. I think EVERY parent would want to become a part of that lynch mob and let the guilty parties know how they truly feel...

If this post gets dumped, so be it. But speaking as a parent there are some things that our children DO NOT NEED EXPOSURE TO, and porn ties or sexual predators at family hotrod events is one of those things, and every parent who loves their children should back me on this...

Coker Tire and Newstalgia wheel are DEAD in my eyes, and I'm sure I am not the only one who feels this way.

Damn good work to expose this filth in our hobby Jon. Shannon and I will have to make a trip sometime to Colorado to shake your hand....


Doc

Speechless.


And I always have something to say.

Maybe I'm being dense, but I don't see the connection between the linked page and predation. I'm also not seeing Andrews' name associated with the "dodgymonkey" on that page. Enlighten me, please?

I just posted a message on Roddingroundtable.com and Club Hot Rod, to make the members there at both forums aware of what is/has been transpiring here. Below is what I wrote, I think others should be encouraged to get the TRUTH out to as many forums as possible...

****************************************
Read about it at Hotrodders.com, it's the post about Gas Monkey Garage.

After reading the whole thing any parents should seriously rethink whether they want to support Gas Monkey Garage, Coker Tire, or Newstalgia Wheel, owned by Corky Coker's brother David.

This is vile and despicable, and EVERYONE here needs to read about what happened at Hotrodders.com and get the word out. Spread the TRUTH to every forum you know on the NET, it's the only way to be sure our hobby remains safe for our kids....
*****************************************
Please feel free to copy and paste the above text to every forum you know. Do it for our kids sake...

UH! Doc Chop....Corkeys brothers name is David....Richard is Richard Rawlings the head honcho at GGM.

It's as bad as a soap opera... I better write it down... so disgusted I can't even think straight...

Doc

Grouch - The link was to the members of the forum for Habbo. This quote is from their site. "Habbo is a FREE virtual community for anyone aged 13 years or older where you can hang out with your friends, make new ones, create and design your own personal room, and take part in many activities and contests or even make your own!" Note "anyone aged 13 years or older". Now I am assuming dodgy is over 13 but do any of you guys lurk around and not post on sites geared to teenagers. Take a look at this site and see if any normal adult would hang out there:

http://www.habbo.com/

Home brew:

Thanks. That's half the puzzle. Now, is there anything to tie that "dodgymonkey Junior Member" on the list to the dodgy who posted the thongs and video? When I use Google to search for dodgymonkey, I get 4 pages and one of those is at Hotrodders.com . Another is http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin...hp/t-37253.html

Is it just the scarcity of the name that makes it likely to be the same dodgy?

Wow, I just saw where this guy was at on habbo.com.
Now I frequent a site where a bunch of people are kinda protesting to take down the habbo site. It all started as a joke then turned into a thing against racism and some random crazy crap.
Now this comes up with pedos on that site. Now I hope these guys on another site get it taken down, just because of all this crap.
Of course thats the internet for you, You could be talking to someone on the internet and never know who your talking to. Kinda like that old sway incident on here.



Brad

Grouch - I understand what you are saying as there is a home brew on the HAMB site that is not me. I just figured he used my name just like someone may have used the dodgy name on that site. But if it burns like a fire, smokes like a fire it just might be a fire.

I believe someone said the profile information on those other sites matched the info on his profile here. Like location, occupation...that kind of stuff.

Yeah, there's enough smoke to stand by with the fire extinguisher in this case. I just wish I could see that profile, but the site is showing, "Forum off due to DNS changing" when I click the dodgymonkey name.

If you're talking about the "Junior Member" under his user name, it's nothing he put on there himself. That's a standard "title" in the vBulletion software usually designated to a set number of posts. Just shows he hasn't been there long, or made many posts.

im not tryin to defend no one here
but how do you know that thats realy him and not someon with the same name and how did you find that
