Given the sad personal circumstances of the books author, that is a very low blow mate.

I am sure that Haynes will release further details on the Single Seater as and when that information is available.

It is not ment as a low blow and what happened to Chris Gibbs was unfortunate but the fact is that every body who has had any involvement in the project has had to stop working on it due to some kind of ill health. If you ask me the body thing is jinxed.

Rome was not built in a day, I think you were on that job phil . I am sure it will all happen in good time and have an avid bunch of followers.

Why dont you get off your high horse and stop being so critical of others, i suppose if it was you it would be finished, with a full production run and competing with the likes of westfield and caterum

Personal circumstances are unavoidable and sniping does no good here,some people have short memories and it may be pertinant to delete the content of the post that some may find offensive,what will be will be eventually.

The finger is not pointed at one individual,its just how I feel.

The truth is , IT HAS BEEN A " SAGA ".
I can remember seeing the bucks in Fabby's first workshop .
at the old brewery Penryn possibly 2006/2007 .
So if that ain't a long drawn out thing then i dont know what is !!!!!!!.
However i wish anybody involved in the project all the best and good/better health.
cheers les g.

Chin up Phil . i,m sure it was not a personal remark and honestly meant to be funny.

Let's be perfectly honest, what happened after some in progress pics of the single seater were posted? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the decision was made to keep the single seater under wraps until Haynes had commissioned the first print run.

I will also say that when I first saw the single seater it was shortly after it arrived at SSC. There was a lot of work that still needed to be done to it, so I think to get it to a finished stage by now is worth giving credit to all parties involved
