Veevee.... I have been twittering them constantly (Twitter name vindal00000) - I think they are getting fed up with me now... I will keep going.
VR Foxy.... I will give this another week (they are supposed to be calling me as they do not answer their phone!) by mid next week.
Not only are they selling related product they ALSO have the same +34 sales number!! Could be they have the same MD as per an earlier thread!
Will keep you posted....
Enjoy your eggs!

I'm not sure if it's a commonly done thing, but has anyone else checked out their list of supercars and, more specifically, the origin of their pictures?
Like I said, it may be a commonly done thing but it looks like their pictures aren't even theirs (indicating they might not even have their fleet in the first place). I haven't checked the origin of all the pictures, but the Audi R8 picture is ripped from the Forza Motorsport 3 box art.
I bet if you looked through press shots and the like, you could find the same problem cropping up elsewhere in their range. I haven't looked but I'd nearly guess there is a mish-mash of LHD and RHD cars shown as well. I have to feel bad for anyone conned by companies like these.

Be interesting to see what the makers of Forza thought of their artwork being sued without their permission?
The developers are Turn 10 Studios, and they were founded by Microsoft, so that could be interesting. Their Twitter presence is @ForzaMotorsport, and their Facebook is the same. Because I have nowt better to do, here's some more picture theft! Not sure of all the original sources, but this should be enough to confirm their pictures are most certainly not their own.Oh, and in case their page changes, here's how it looks at 10:20PM (GMT) on April 17.

When looking for the TVR Sagaris picture's origins, I managed to turn up another PistonHeads thread about what seems to be the very same group.

Any more information on Supercar Lifestyle?
I signed up to a driving course in Guadix scheduled for last March which they cancelled a couple of weeks before.
I've still not had a refund for the £1,551.71.
I just wanted to remind everyone out there what these guys are like.
I had a phone call from someone recently asking me if I would like to go on a similar trip with a company called Supercar Spain (or similar).
If any of you know anything that may be useful to me, please let me know.
