Well done for calling him out, there are too many dickheads like him in the industry getting away with it for years.

Indeed.

Seems like a great shout moving on

Quite unbelievable. You are certainly better off out of there and they will be the poorer for it
I am firm believer that quality work speaks for itself and a company that has to self-promote to that extent and make things glossy for the sake of appearances, i.e. hoodwinking its customers can finance do one for all I care.

You have my respect for what you have done and how you went about it, your own moral standards and work practices are far more important than any job.

Good luck to you in your own ventures - I'm sure many here will wish you the same.

Geoff.

4v6, In my youth I would have be rolling round on the ground with the gent (aka dickhead, 10 pounds of shit in a 2 pound bag, king dick) long before now, you are best out of their for your own well being, anyway nice soap box rant, best I have seen for a while.

Yes indeed; create something in your own vision, maybe the UK's answer to Custom Craft Auto?

Goodness knows we could use someone capable & dedicated to the Ingolstadt classics.

Call me crazy, but I firmly believe that sometimes fate has a strange way of trying to point us in a particular direction....

Im also going to start back up working on engine builds and heads ( had no time before) and theres already a few jobs to do, and since the build of a rather fine "shed" should allow me some better space to rebuild them, (bigger and cleaner than the cmc engine room btw

) things might work out after all.

Sounds like a plan, new shed and DIY flow bench, keep us informed.
