Nice to see the royalties from 'Mr Blue Sky' have been put to good use.

Good luck! I can relate to waiting for potential clients to come back with decisions
Yeah lol you could focus a lot of time and energy in to them and I'm sure they'll let you borrow the odd car wink Ha

Their business has always been in customisation of cars so I thought it would be a small office above a garage workshop or something, but they have recently made the whole London Motors Museum comcept public, which goes hand in hand with the tuning work. Awesome.

Well, if you call a couple of years ago recently.

And who the hell, who's a petrolhead, hasn't heard of Elo, the London Motor Museum and TKO London before?

Cutting bunch...So what you are saying is you have heard of ELO, you like ELO and the concept of the museum etc, but you dont approve of discussing on the forum because..? Oh and yes, like you guys I also use more than 1 forum.

Seriously though, I want to find out more about him. I know he made his money from modelling etc but is that really where all this came from? Anyone have any usful background knowledge on him and how he came about this business? Definately want to work with him in terms of our road trips etc, apparently he has done every Gumball Rally since its inception!

Well I think it is cool.

Reminds me of when I went to meet a guy from Prodive and got taken around the factory/museum. Somedays it's good to go to work smile

certainly! this reminds me of the fire at Munsterhuis, the had the same amount of keys all mixed up, then there was fire, the time they needed to sort out the keys was enough to engulf the entire building (and the containing cars) in flames, leaving behind nothing but ashes and scrap metal.



I wonder how many cars could have been saved if the keys were sorted and stacked in a key rack.. driving a Ferrari through the window causes less damage then burning it.
