I understood that they were moving to Scotland, but their advert at the top of the links page on this very forum has them still in Pereborough
I checked their website but they are being very coy about their location, just a mobile phone number and nothing on the contact us page except email?
Not very confidence inspiring
Can't answer your question, but do agree that it's not the most confidence inspiring way to run a business. Next thing you know, it operates
out of a van

Or maybe the guy is dyslexic like me (took me 5 min to find the correct spelling of that lol)
So, 5 replies and 200-odd views and still we don't know where they are based. Why are they so shy about their location?
Interesting. And suspicious?
Dyslexia Rules..... KO!!
Indeed, my Mrs is dyslexic as well and sometimes her texts look like that - she's not pissed or stupid or in need of a patronising link to a
spell checker either, her brain just works in a slightly different way .... both mangogrooveworkshp and darrens posts are bang out of order tbh 
wo hang on a second, I was in no way making fun of people that suffer from dyslexia. Not my intention at ALL. I have removed that post and apologise. But taken in completely the wrong context.

im badly dyslexic - no offence taken.
I can't count, spell or type and proad of it! It comes in really handy when you have to explain to the wife how much I just spent on buying
bits!
Back to Luego though.....If you were building the business back up surely wouldn't you want as much trade as you could get or at least tell
everyobe your going strong or re-building? It is a bit strange.... I hope it lives cause it would be a shame for me to finally finish my car then have
no manufacturer about!

Luego are now based in an industrial unit in a town called Kintore, about 10 miles north of Aberdeen.
I dropped in past a couple of weeks a go and met Ben.
Seems like a nice Guy and he had a couple of Velocitys on the go , One he was building for a customer another almost complete with a bike engine.
Ironically it was the day I took my Viento off the road for the winter and the sun has not stopped shining since. Typical
So Luego is definitely not dead.
Where in kintore John?? I might have a look one day.

dont think it was the same one as mark and big johns.
Im dyslexic and use the computer to sort out the muddles from the puddles.
I'm dyslexic too, and so is another guy that works with me. We both take the p**s out of each other all the time for it! I think it is hard to
upset a dyslexic, after all

I suppose the difference is that some dyslexics know that they are dyslexic and take steps to ensure that their written communications are as clear as possible, whereas others do not.
Please remember that on the Locostbuilder site, there is a huge amout of joviality and camaraderie. Sometimes its a bit too close to the line.
I am sure that everyone is taking it in good nature.
Almost everyone takes it as a bit of fun. Certainly (i'm sure) its true to say that none of it is meant with malice.
read it, dismiss it, and try to smile about it.
I'm a Bat Fastard... (20.5 Stones of it), I'm not happy about it, but I dont take it to heart, when people on here take the p*ss.
I mean... I couldnt get into a Locost, so I had to build a Viento instead
Life's too short...
To be honest my 'ticking off' came over looking a bit harsher than I intended
I've met quite a few people through Mrs Beddows with dyslexia though who basically haven't got anywhere in life because people have told
them (or just assumed) they were thick because they aren't very good at reading and writing through no fault of their own. If people tell someone
they're stupid often enough they tend to start believing it themselves........ and it's a bit of a waste of a life sometimes......and none
of this probably applies to any of the posts in this thread which I believe should be about where Luego live now......
Thats all 
My son struggled at school for years with a problem. After much harassind and chasing of the authorities (w**kers) we were told he needed to be a
certain age before they could diagnose him (bulls**t). A teacher we know through the racing FINALLY picked up on his shortcomings and he was diagnosed
as slightly dislexic. It appears from my keyboard skills that at times I type like a dislexic writes???? and here was me thinking I was perfect.
Any way what a change in my sons attitude and confidence once he realized that it wasn't his fault and that he wasn't stupid at all (we knew
that ).
Jackie Stewart and Richard Branson both suffer (strange word for it) from dislexia and they got on just fine. At the end of the day as long as you can
make yourself undertood where's the problem?? Look at how the kids text thesedays and soon the whole world will be doing communications like this
IMHO.

Dodgy people? Are you serious?
The plot thickens, and Luego's address remains a well kept mystery.

Didn't think it was a good idea to post the address of the workshop on a open forum incase somebody reading thinks it might be a good idea to break in a nick the cars.
Their address is clearly shown on their web page !!
Luego haven't been in Peterborough for at least 18months
Point taken Neil.
Yes it's best to keep your whereabouts secret if you're trying to sell stuff to the kit buying public, you never know who might turn up
wanting to buy stuff.

This is quite true. However, if you click into links. THEN click on to the Luego Web Site link in the banner at the top of the page you go to Luego's CURRENT web page. On there you will find another link that opens up contact details and ALL their contact details are in there. No mystery at all. Just idle mouse use and lack of logical thinking.
both Ben and Joe are active readers on this list, and Ben has probably read this and acted on the info, which is a good sign

we don't want twats like him in our club anyway, he can call us all the names under the sun from behind his keyboard, bet he wouldn't mouth off like that to our face, bet he's only got a little engine as well!!!!!
Guys, is it worth getting upset over?
We know 99% of people on here are genuinely nice people that we can have a laugh with so lets just let the un-called for name-calling and comments
drop and enjoy the usual good natured banter that we enjoy instead! After all, bet he was only after a reaction anyway so lets not give him it.
Mark
Guys...... can you please tone the language down?
Fozzie
nice to see someone showed sense and deleted the post.
Bugger! Missed this post as it's all gone Pete Tong at work and your truly is the janitor!
1.) Dealt with Ben, yes he's in Aberdeen, yes they also build stuff in Hull. Thoroughly nice bloke to quote Harry Enfield and he sorted me out a
treat when I needed stuff in a hurry.
2.) My middle kid has dyslexia and she's as bright as a button. Her favourite joke on the subject is, "...Did you hear about the Dyslexic
devil worshipper? He made a pact with Santa..."
3.) The LOC are a great bunch and are growing in numbers. JGG is a star to sort us lazy buggers out when he's not even finished his car so
I'd vote for those of us that have to take him for a scare asap!
4.) I still think that this is by far the most useful, friendliest and most entertaining forum of the many I peruse.
