You need to bear in mind that your story, such as it is, doesn't really ring true. It's far too thin on detail. All you are doing is repeating, using slightly different words.
Once again, I suggest you either provide some detail or f
k off (in the nicest possible way, of course).
it seems i have touched a nerve with you maybe you know this person. and what may i ask are you suggesting Once again, I suggest you either provide some detail or f

Hmmm, this is a complicated story, and not one I really wish to air on here.
The background of it being the huge legal problems we had this year with a criminal landlord which basically put us out of business and left us with a three month battle to get our own stuff and customer cars away from him. This is why we also got behind on the prototypes.
We ceased trading completely for a while, and started back up recently. We had three outstanding orders, Paul's being one of them. The other two have been fulfilled and his is almost done, in fact it is sat on the jig now with a small amount of welding to do. When I last spoke to him I explained much of our predicament, and he seemed happy to wait as did the others.
Then he started posting directly to our charity pages, which had dire consequences for us. On the strength of his remarks we have lost a funding stream we were due to start with this year.
The guy has waited a long time, which is not good for him and unfortunate, but I thought he was fine with that.
Over xmas I got a letter from him asking for his frame or his money, to which I have replied in kind.
During the chaos of this year, and many of you will have met us at shows or know about what we do through others, we kept the charity going as we had committed to it with other military charities at the beginning of the year.
We dont raise money for ourselves. we dont take donations,how we work is we give a rail away to charities, then they raffle them. We enable this by attending all the events we can at the shows and promoting for them. The last rail was won at the NEC classic Motor show in November.
This took up all of our time and energy, and I had pointed that out to customers who all seemed happy to wait given the circumstances
This years giveaway is a v8 disco based behemouth, but we have learned the lessons of last year and we are leaving the promotion of it to the recipients, Rally For Heroes so we can concentrate on the work/therapy side of things at the shack.
It has been a very bad year, and those of you who know us will know just how bad, but we are still here plugging away.
Paul, I can only apologise. I become uncommunicative when things get confrontational, I am not well enough, and I misjudged your level of patience. But please stop posting things as you are doing huge damage.
I dont think you have paid for shipping your frame, so I will do so free of charge. I hope that can be an end to it and we can start the new year afresh

So, Paulpants, feel like a big man now for taking this into the public domain? Or maybe you feel like a sh*t?
I really don't understand why people make these things public, much better to resolve man to man.
Dreamshack, well done on the honesty. Top man for all the Charity work you do...

Even better pictures of it whilst it is being built, please.
If you are picking it up then can you have a quick look to see if Mark is progressing with the scooby based chassis, I'm interested to see how thiat is progressing and any news would be great. (hint to Mark to reply with a quick update on this and the front engined project, oh, and the disco/Randge Rover kit that I am sure must be finished by now).

I will keep you posted on the scooby one ;-) Just clearing the backlog of the other stuff and doing some charity stuff over next two weekends. And thanks to Paul for the call and the apology, it really wasn't needed but very much appreciated.
As we become more organised over the next few weeks we will get more stuff posted up. The next two weekends are taken up with the Rally for heroes stuff, donor strip by volunteers this Sunday, and next weekend a training session for the participants, a ceremonial beginning of the bending, the lads and lasses will each have a go at pushing the button on the bending machine! And we have the family who won last years rail raffle prize (in aid or the royal navy and royal marines children's fund) coming by too for fitting of seats etc, so a busy time ;-)
Raffle tickets are available from rally for heroes by the way guys ;-) (Prize is a V8 disco based road legal rail)

Cheers, look forward to the updates. The news of progress gives me an incentive to sort my engine out (when I can get a clear/dry day as I do not have a garage at the mo) and then come in for a chat about whether it will (or can be made to) fit ???? (Mazda Kl v6 on bike carbs (or bike TB's as a fall back) + Porsche Boxster gearbox).
