Im trying to get parts back to some people that are owed it so i dont think you should be arguing with us to be honest Tony. Ring Darren and sort your
problems out with him.
If anyone else is owes parts, let me know and i will try my best to get them from darren and to you!

Just throw my two penneth in.
My mate paid for several things from GTS 2 years ago.
In all honesty they arrived and were made up pretty well.
He then decided to purchase the GTS Panther.
After purchasing, he did not hear anything for 2 months. My mate tried contacting him, ringing, e-mailing etc.
Eventually he claimed all his money back through the credit card.
Now, no real moral to the story apart from if you are unsure if you will get anything form Darren, I suggest you only pay by credit card, at least
then you can claim it from them and they will pursue him.

Good to see you are getting on well Ed, keep up the good work.
I have to agree with Ed here, if there were more people with issues, why isnt his inbox overflowing with pleas for help? it seems like the only real
person with an issue is oudakontrol, others are fairly minor and are being sorted.
oudakontrol, you are wrong, there are several people who have had problems with other manufacturers (MK, Robinhood and Luego to name 3 popular ones)
usually these arent delivery problems, but more quality related issues. Having seen the quality of some of the products turned out by other companies
I am not suprised - though i must say this isnt the norm. The single reason you dont hear people complaining is that the pro-(insert manufacturers
name here) brigade would soon shout you down.

Sorry Eddie and sorry to anyone that thinks I was wanting to argue with them. I have had a numerous amount of U2U and emails from a lot of you guys
and the support is quite astonishing, as well as the amount of people in the same boat some going back years and years. So thanks for the friendships
I have made. I did mean you are all great in the UK.
To be honest with you Eddie I have called and emailed Darren George dozens of times with absolutley no response.
Anyway I am about to hit the hay so to speak getting late here and I have had a busy day keeping my return customers happy and a lot of orders to go
out tomorrow.
Cheers all

Just curious Flak monkey while reading this topic, I get the impression you seem to be trying to defend GTS but why? You know just as well as anyone
the history of problems people have had with this company well before even I joined the forum. Reminds me of CalvinX’s endless battles to defend their
honour, oh the good old days, sure miss those not! 
But as said above, if I had spent £1500 and didn’t receive anything, I’d quite happily (if that’s the right term) travel down to the bottom of the
country to sort it out once and for all.

A lot of the problems have been pretty minor, but annoying nontheless. With a bit of effort most of these are resolvable, even if that means getting
involved myself.
I believe GTS have a good product and could be one of the market leaders in 'Locosts' if only the issues could be sorted. The main one
seems to be customer service, which with a little effort can be sorted and problems rectified.
I know GTS is working hard on rectifying those outstanding issues as well.
I have never said GTS are perfect and freely admit there have been issues in the past which could have been easily avoided. Most are easily
resolvable, others are more difficult. If I hadnt received parts I would do everything I could to get them, but have always found that a polite email
or call usually pushes things along.

I think it is time to draw a close to this discussion to be honest.
Both myself and Ed have been in contact with Darren @ GTS, and he is doing everything in his power to sort out the outstanding issues within the next
month.
His recommendation is to contact him via a fresh email to: gtstuning@googlemail.com
If you get no reply, please contact either myself or Eddie and we wil do our absolute best to help resolve any issues as well.
Once these are resolved I really believe a fresh start is called for and hopefully more people will be able to confidently buy from GTS without any
worries. Certainly this will take some time to regain the reputation, but knowing whats going on 'behind the scenes' so to speak things
are certainly looking up.

Well people I have emailed Darren 11-12 days ago (SEVERAL TIMES) and yet no response, not even a "Trying to sort this out and will get back to
you" now I can't get much fresher than that.
Apparently he emailed me and CC'd David but I seemed to have not received it ???
Darren if you find time to read this can you please find 10-15 seconds to return my emails, just email me it's not that hard if your trying to
rectify all your wrong doings, just let me know.
David and Eddie have put their name on the line for you and are trying to help you (and we all thank you two for that) but all you seem to still be
doing is
#%&^^@!% .....nothing !
Sorry but it does get a little frustrating after 20 months. Seems nothing has changed.

Thanks guys, your to good...
I have seen the email from David. Unsure to how it didn't get to me, may have "accidently" put a dot in the wrong place for it to
get to me.
I emailed Darren with my requirements. But have received nothing not a word in response. Only from you two ??
All I ask is the courtesy to reply so I know I can feel he is trying to do the right thing, at the moment I'm unsure ???
Cheers

Hi guys, long time lurker...
Aften stumbling upon this thread whilst browsing (which I have done fairly often for a couple of years), I simply could not sit back and watch this
appalling excuse for a legitimate trading company be discussed without expressing my total disapproval and disgust at the manner in which they conduct
business.
I would rather not go into specifics regarding my numerous encounters with their "work", but sincerely hope that this message and the
(seemingly many) others like it will make everybody think twice before letting this outfit spunk their hard earned cash up the proverbial wall.
All the best, and thanks for reading.

Exactly the standard of response I should have expected from someone associated with a slipshod con artist.
Congratulations on making a post which serves to do nothing but further the case of some justifiably angry (ex)customers.

Hang on Bangford. I've so far refrained from posting on this thread but I now feel the need to.
I've had my problems with GTS and I will go into them if anyone is interested and I know others who have had problems too. It just seems that
some people are having a shine taken to them by Darren and some not and that there's a refusal to accept each others experiences. Fine,
I've had mine and won't use them again, lesson learned.
But you've just joined the forum and made your point which is fair enough but to go on and start criticising someone who's been on here
for ages and offered good support to people. I think you're bang out of order. If you want to start like that I think you should p155 off onto
Pistonheads or summat but keep off here. I personally think that someone is creating an alter ego to hide behind but either way, button it.
You've nothing valuable to add so go back to where you came from.

If it's fair enough, then why was I told to bleep off? It's this I was criticising him for, as you will see if you read my post.

I took it be be the collective p155 off as he was referring to helping people out. Either way saying that he should be ashamed of himself? I
can't say that I've ever asked for help from him but I know people who have and I've seen David at a few shows and he's always
seemed very pleasant and sitting around chatting to people, generally on the MK stand with his car and the MK owners don't feel the need to tell
him he should be ashamed and no one else on here has ever felt the need to say he should be ashamed so why should you?
Nice introduction to the site by the way. People generally say hello!

Let me make this quite clear, I am NOT affiliated with GTS in any way other than being a satisfied customer.
I have made offers on more than one occasion to help people out who have been having problems getting in touch with GTS. I do this off my own back and
get nothing out of it other than knowing that I have at least tried to help out. This offer still stands to anyone who is having problems.
So should I feel ashamed? I dont think so.
But to be honest I dont give a monkies what you think. Rest assured when you ask for help, it won't be from me.
David
PS thanks for the support Chris.

It's just that from what I've seen you appear to be a vehement defender of this company, who frankly have an appalling track record. I
fail to see why.
