What does the support on Facebook do? I see a lot of requests for 'likes' but struggle to understand how this helps...

Basically if you like a page/company it will show up on your news feed and will be visible to your friends as well, so its free advertising/promotion.
All the big company's pay a premium to show on peoples news feeds weather you want to see them or not.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Awareness,
advertising, get people talking...
Going viral is fantastic for any company... social media is extremely important in any business nowadays

How are the prices looking on the gen 2? I assume more than the gen 1?

Thanks for all the comments, to answer your question Dave I intend to keep the G2 car at exactly the same price as the G1 car for as long as I can -
pressure from investors will obviously try and push it up but for the time being I think we are in a strong enough position to hold where were at.
Every time we upgraded a component I looked at the additional cost and thought about the retail price or wether we could realistically do without the
upgrade, so far 99% of the time I decided we would just reduce the margins, the car has and always will be about quality and I would rather not do it
at all than compromise. Hence the social media etc - ultimately we need to sell cars and bring the cars to people's attention and Facebook and
such like is a good vehicle - I suppose it goes along the lines of - what's the point of it all if no-one knows it's available
Best regards to you all
Andy

this might be really naive of me but can you get pistonheads to review or test drive one?
they seem to be moving or shaking many deep pockets.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It's great that the page can still be viewed by those of us not registered on FB, I am on it most days having a peep at what's going on,
the Sabre looks absolutely top class. A world away from my Westfield in terms of engineering.
In saying that I've seen a few of my tasty Westie bits appear on your page too - can't wait for them to arrive
