Shame that. Far too far from me to even think about bits. Would, one day, have liked to build a Viento.
Just have to build Deimos 2 at some point!

im pretty sure that the enginnering side of things ( where you pick the kit up from ) is still in Hull.
Hull is more central than scotland and i think that moving to scotland would put lots of people off. ( distance, not the people )

I spoke with Ben Lord at Stoneliegh.
He is running the Admin from Aberdeen where he lives (Well done for making the trip to Stoneleigh to see us all).
The Engineering is being done by his Brother in Hull. Both seem to have the right qualities. Ben appears to have been in involved in F1 racing mainly
in the software area, and his Brother has some knowlege / experience in building car chassis's (professionally).
Hopefully this will bring Luego back into full swing.
I wish them both well.

1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Amazing, when I decided to build a Viento V8 I travelled most of the length of the country to visit them in Peterborough. Then, when part way through
the build I was very depressed to see they had gone bust, but then relieved when someone else took them over. Now it seems they are setting up in
Kintore near Aberdeen. Where do I live? a few miles from Kintore and I drive past there on my way to work !!! Hope it's true.

yes it is true luego is based in scotland and the chassis are built in hull
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!
