PH wont contact you on name and shame- the post will simply disappear. I had a long post pulled after I pointed out that a product that was being sold to the TVR world was technically very poor (I had done a technical full bench test for the product so it was not simply opinion, but fact) plus it was using ripped off software. I think the post got pulled after it was flagged as name and shame by a Guy who liked the product (it was very shiny aluminium after all ) and did not like being contradicted on the forum no matter how much data I had to back my claims up. Pity as I could no longer warn people it was rubbish.....

LNT is too busy advising Vince Cable! Just read it in City AM this morning, page 14 or so...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/9968044/Vince-Cable-hires-resident-entrepreneurs.htmlCable personally visited LNT last July so he knows all about the Group.
Tomlinson was hired along with Rekha Mehr (who sells Anglo Indian cakes and sweets ) both as advisors and as 'voices for business' - at different ends of the scale obviously.
I doubt things are going well. The first car sold was in March 2012 (Hubert's, correct me if I'm wrong), and then the first UK car sold was announced in July 2013, well over a year later, and that was to a couple who had been employed to develop it (according to Ginettas own web news "GINETTA G60 : ON THE ROAD WITH VICCI SCHULTZ & TONY HUGHES").
Sadly, when LNT bought Farbio he not only took apart the car but also the company, and team that designed and developed it ceased to exist. I hate to say it, but I think the purchase of the Juno operation will probably go the same way to be honest. Once he has the assets he needs from the company, the current Leyland base will likely be wound up and with it will go the jobs and all that hard work. If it happens it will be a tradegy, but Ginetta now seems to be a curious mix of asset stripper, vanity project and charity from what I can tell.

Went to the Ginetta website to peruse the G60 and it is now a orange G40.
I guess that means the fat lady has sung regarding the G60.
Too bad--I thought it had a lot of upside.
