Plenty of criticism there from someone who has asked no questions like which bits we have done on what car. Body's shells on cradles are not a finished product are they? Downstairs at rennsport is a workshop that we invited people in to see what we are getting set up. It's unfortunate now we will have to sack someone too for not shutting a door on the second click leaving it 5mm proud. I suppose she did make the mince pies though !

You're quite right, I was always taught 'that if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing' and in this case I should have maintained a stoney silence.......I have edited my post accordingly.......as for asking 'which bits had been done', or indeed 'hadn't', to anyone with half an idea I'm afraid that was blatantly obvious!

Just one question - your Slate Grey Turbo has obviously been recently painted and has gone through some sort of body preparation/restoration....are you really intending to sell the car like that when it clearly has some major rust issues that have been concealed by bog and sealer?

Why has no one commented on the most important aspect of the mince pies on offer at Rennsport?
Not only were they dry, the lid was not on straight, the bottom was unforgivably soggy and the mince meat was poor quality. But then again I am not sure which bit the host had been asked to attend to.
Suppose I should have enquired.
