ARGH !!! Why did i put my trust in a 'respected' Caterham .
Discussion
Have you ever asked yourself why did I hand my Caterham over to 'the experts' to sort.
My Superlight needed some work so I contacted .................. and he was happy to obliged .
He agreed to pick up the car on a Friday in March - waited in all day but the car wasn't picked up , instead he picked it up on Saturday.
In May I posted that my Superlight had been away for two months, I got a call from ..... ....... who asked if I could remove the post as it will give his company a bad rep !!!
That's back in March ..... it's now August and the Superlight is still not in my garage !
In the mean time I've bought an ex race Caterham, removed the cage, the data telemetry, the transponder, fitted a roll bar, carpets, seatbelts, added some stripes, probably spent 3 days working on the car AND now just sold the car. I don't have a full workshop and years of Caterham experience.
So to conclude if a non Caterham expert can transform an ex race car to a road going car in three days then sell it within three days to the first person who saw it - and he tore my car to bits ( he restores concourse winning 60's Ferraris ), howcome a respected garage can pick my 7 up in March and now it's August !
Sorry - rant over.

Step 1 - collect car from said 'specialist'
Step 2 - post provable facts on FB/ Twitter where name and shame won't see the post removed.
Step 3 - optional - take court proceedings against specialist to recover losses.
Don't worry, I WILL name and shame on here, Facebook, and Blatchat, it was a bit of a joke when he quoted 4 hours to bemove a cage and fit a roll bar. I took me an hour and half.... and he charges £75/ hour !Step 2 - post provable facts on FB/ Twitter where name and shame won't see the post removed.

As a passionate owner of Caterhams and various other marques ( Lotus , Porsche ) in 30 years it's always nice to share the pros and cons of 'marque specialists" and recommending people.
I've had a number of owners PM me asking who I've used and concerned about putting their trust in the hands of 'experts', and having spoken to several specialists ( Ferrari and Porsche ) and are NOT associated with Caterhams I feel I need to name the companies.
