I wondered if there might be any pictures to compare with the above video.
Sadly, yes.

inconsiderate driving, dangerous driving, aggressive & bullyish attitude.

On that day, in those moments, you were an utter scumbag in my opinion.

To be fair to you, you might be decent most of the time and we all make mistakes, be a man and apologise for your actions - not because of any consequence, but because its the right thing to do.

I would imagine that sort of attitude when behind the car is more common for him than he'd want people to believe - it's just this one time he got caught on camera.

Personally, I would never have reacted like that!

Yeah, not sure why but the original chap involved in the recording seems to have taken it down.

Got to agree with you and what I have done, gone down the classic car route myself, if you like the sand rail style then you would probably be better with a second hand, properly registered UVA fugitive that you can restore/fettle/enhance, they come up occasionally on ebay.

Like this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UVA-U-V-A-FUGITIVE-SANDR...

Fully sorted and cheaper than a DS one.

It's finding one that is correctly registered that seems to be the issue to be honest, I've been watching them on eBay for several years as my circumstances have been changing and I've been saving slowly for one. I would want to completley rebuild and put my own stamp on any I bought so no point buying a finished top spec one but the basket cases always seem to have no v5 or are still down as a beetle!

Another 'Dreamshack' victim yep I've been scammed too. I wish I'd read this forum before parting with 1250 quid. I bought the 'custom sandrail' deposit option. Now maybe I should have known something was wrong as I wanted a central driven three seater, Mark said 'yeah that's doeable' swaged panels? 'yep fine' double spare wheels?, spot lights?, 'yep' was the reply, crayons? 'Yep crayons' the old grey whistle test? 'yep old grey whistle test, spotlights, crayons, yep all doeable fella'

So I was excited, my own McClaren style buggy to take to Almeria in Spain, then the replies begin to dwindle, but when they did come in this is what they were:

1. 'My wifes in A&E'
2. 'Daughters boss is giving her a hard time and I have to deal with it'
3. 'family problem'
4. 'family problem that I still haven't resolved'

Anyway there I sat when I saw my reflection in my TV which was off, I had the head of a donkey. Yep the head of a donkey, anyway I have asked Paypal to try and sort it, but he must have worked out how to get around that by now. I am very disappointed, and the one thing I don't get is why doesn't he just do it right, he has the engineering skills, and was even very nice to talk to at the start. Gutted!

Update! I have been speaking to Mark from DS, maybe we have found a solution, I will update the post again, but for the moment I have paused my judgement.

Hi within these last months September/October. But as I mentioned in my last post I am hopeful of a solution.
