Your kind wishes are very much appreciated, thank you.

Gareth, your challenge is to find the space.....the car awaits you!

Current 4/4 lead time about 3 months to your own spec.....a little sooner if you take a spec already ordered.

Hi Russell

Long time no see.... :thumbsup
Best of luck with your new venture, I drive past Perth almost every Friday, and really will have to pop in and say hello.
I have seen Elliot quite a few times in the Ginetta Jnrs, is he still enjoying it?/

It's exactly what happened, should I not be allowed to share my experience of dealing with your showroom?? Or do you only want to see the good comments?

On my return I took up all the problems that the bike had with your salesman and explained my dissapointment at the poor level of preparation. It was after all a demo run and it put me off buying the bike. I went out the next week and bought something else.

I'm still waiting on the promised phone call to arrange another demo on a better prepared bike.

As above. Would make a nice birthday present, if only my birthday wasn't in November.

Best of luck with Caterham!

Hi Stu, yes it's been years......please pop in, the coffee is always on!

After a successful Winter Series (podium and fastest lap) we were looking forward to this season.
After 2 rounds though we pulled out the series......there were many reasons but driving standards, costs and the lack of control by Ginetta were the main ones.
Back to karting this year and we'll see what 2014 brings once he turns 16.

What are you all up to?

See you soon hopefully.

No I don't don't have one to hire, every one we've allocated as a demo/hire car has been sold before we even got them!
It will happen one day though, just not sure which one yet......sorry!

Touchy!
Identify yourself properly and I'll engage in conversation with you.

Touchy is one thing I'm most definitely not.

I'm quite happy to discuss this with you if you wish but as you don't know me I can't see how identifying myself (my name I presume) makes much odds.

PM me and I'll tell you anything you want to know.

:cheers

Happy to PM you but you will have to give me your name......you will be in our records if you took a bike away on test.
Without that I won't be able to get to the bottom of what happened.

Back to Caterham!

I've been told by the factory that a new website is in build just now and we will be included in the dealer listing when it goes live.....3 weeks away is the estimate.

For a demo I've ordered a Roadsport 140 SV wide chassis, lsd, carbon dash, leather seats, tonneau, start button.........not sure about colour though!
Thinking about the Sport Grey used by Morgan and adopted by us as our company colour......that with orange nose and stripe and the black pack?
How does that sound?
