A BIG THANK YOU TO DARREN
big-vee-twin - 18/11/09 at 03:44 PM

After trying to make contact with Luego to no avail, and then buying bits from Quantum to help me with my donor parts and never receiving them, even though Quantum took the cash from my bank.

After discussing my parts list requirements in depth with Jim at Tiger then never receiving a quote despite chasing up, I came across a small constructor called GTS.

Having contacted Darren and getting a great response, I decided to buy a Panther deluxe starter kit.

I then decided to join the Locosters web site – unfortunately it was obvious that GTS hadn’t got a great reputation.

Today, I received my kit from Darren and I have to say the kit is of fantastic build quality. Throughout the 13 weeks of the build, I received emails from Darren responding to my questions in timely fashion – 18 in total although, I do agree the phone is not the best way to reach Darren.

I understand that this period of time is probably longer than most constructors, but I adopted a patient stance and I am glad to say it was well worth the wait.

I would therefore like to say a big thank you to Darren. I am really chuffed with the quality of the kit, and if I had joined Locosters before purchasing, I would not gone to GTS which in my opinion would have been a shame.

Its good to hear that some people (myself included) have had positive dealings with GTS.

Yes, in the same way its good to hear about plane crash survivors

Lol... sounds like an advert!


mookaloid - 18/11/09 at 04:53 PM

Is that a 13 week delivery time?

Was that the quoted time and was it stuck to?

Probably the best analogy I've heard in a while. Made me chuckle.

I knew that would stir you all up LOL,

Jacko, I am in Pocklington.

No its not an advert, I thought I would give a good positive report- as strange as it sound to you lot he was really good.

There wasn't really a quoted delivery time, I assumed about 8 weeks, but he has had a two week holiday and some time off for Illness, so I suppose it took approximately 10 weeks.

Gave me time to sort out the garage with lighting and heating and get my donor parts sorted - you can see some pics in my photo archive

Will be good to see another one on the road.

If you have any specific GTS questions get in touch

God I've got cynical in my old age...........


big-vee-twin - 18/11/09 at 07:18 PM

Yes, thank you David.

Has he got a gun in your back whilst you're typing?

Just give us a winky smiley if he has.

For a second then i thought it was April fools day.

But to be fair i am glad you had good service, and that Darren is obviously inproving (slowly).

Unfortunately for me, even when my parts did arrive the quality was poor too!

Never mind, onwards and upwards.

Good luck with your build.

Well blow me down.


RoadkillUK - 19/11/09 at 12:25 PM

Er, could we stop with the positive comments if you haven't dealt with GTS yourselves? It's unfair to comment unless you personally have had good service

Great to hear about Darren's good service, most people do get good service, just the ones that are unhappy shout louder unfortunately.

Have fun with the build, you'll probably beat me on my current progress


DM - 19/11/09 at 02:04 PM

Would someone fortunate enough to get a response from Darren please remind him that almost 2 years on Im still waiting for my Wilwood kit

Many thanks....
