I'm with you on this one Fabby. Didn't think he'd stay quiet for long
As for his 'F1' career, I have previously worked for many years at a high end motorsport outfit I can say he wouldn't have lasted long turning out the stuff he did and treating customers/clients the way he did.
It's just sour grapes and barely worth a responce.
If the kit car press (itself something of a shambles in recent years) takes notice of him then more fool them! After all it's not like they haven't heard of his reputation.....

The 'book' does need updating to suit new donors such as MX-5 and BMW but surely that's partly what the forum is about is it not? The supply of any donor will eventually dry up as it did with the Escort for the Champion locost. To keep the roadster going WE have to inovate with the use of alternate donors.

I also agree with Talonmotorsport, All businesses have to adapt to changing trends and fashions or go under, thats just business! It might be difficult for him but so was supplying the parts we'd paid for - Nuff Said!
