I often have ideas about such stuff myself - I understand what makes a company successful and how to run the commercial side of the show. What I lack
is the ability to start out witha mig welder and a large garage, so the iverheads are very high from the start by having to employ someone to be able
to fabricate the goods in the first place.

That looks to be the main problem. You as a commercial mind, couldn't afford to employ an engineering mind/welder until you were able to make a
few kits/demo cars to show off. Equally, the engineering mind can't afford to employ a commercail mind until he get's going. And at that
point, he needs another welder rather than a bloke who doesn't actually help much (compared to a bloke with a mig).

Maybe there are several firms who need a commercial spring clean - I could consult.
Then I could make some extra money through industrial espionage too!

I'll ask one question, would we all be happy to accept a £300 rise in the price of the kit for better service?
after all any extra cost must go to the customers somehow.
I have to say that I had promised delivery dates missed with my Indy.... but then I had the same when I ordered my Ultima!
But for the money I think its fantastic value (certainly compared to the Ultima)and can forgive them their failings...
In your possition I would phone them and ask for the money back imediatelly until they have the parts ready.

I've said I'll call early next week and figure it out from there if I don't get ea reasonable timescale or explanation.
The other thing that bothers me is that I've paid £150 for the paddle shift, and there's been some for sale on this forum that are niver
looking and a lot cheaper too!
I believe we are already paying a good enough oprice to warrant good service. If I'd paid £5k for a second hand car, I'd have blasted
them out of the water by now for this sort of thing!
