long lost posts...

come to think about it, we havent heard from simon-someone-or-other and his 12 turbo or such GTR project... for a while...!!!

 

[polarbearit]

was thinking the same...

...about simon - wasn't he talking to abbey about building the car?

 

[Durzel]

Ive tried getting in contact with Simon, but to no avail. There were rumours flying about that he gave a £50k cheque to Abbey and basically said "make it happen". Whether or not that's true is anyone's guess.

Would be nice if he did come back when he has the car up and running.

He was serious about building the car, and had the money, but after getting a full specification and pricing for what he wanted, he decided not to progress.

It is therefore unlikely that any more will be heard from him.

Did you meet him then Guy?

I thought he was Mr illusive? Was it more expensive that he thought then?

I have spoken to him via email.

The spec he wanted for the car would have included all carbon panels etc and added up to over £100k. I think he realised that this would have a re-sale value a lot lower and therefore made the decision not to progress.

There are many of us who have spent enormous amounts of money on our cars over time without realising it and had we been confronted with the bill up-front might not have made the same decisions.

Yep

Youre right, obviosly a sensible man then after all, not lacking in braincells like the rest of us
