i would have posted this, but thought it might get deleted. just started pming dave on all the links. its hard to keep a open mind on things like this when there is a CL member with his car locked up in this mess. makes you wonder if some of the people they side with are of the same caliber.

i would have posted here had i known this thread existed. i'm the fabricator working on the sc400tt project.

everyone stuff is alright and no one is going to get screwed. while ian hasn't replyed to anything, i assure you hes good enough to make things right with the people that depend on us.

i'm not really going to comment more on the situation because i don't have all of the control, but if you guys have legitament questions or concerns, you can email me at mikey@drivenconcepts.net.

i talk to ian when ever i want, so if even if your trying to get a hold of him, i can pass things on.

we should be back up and running in the next couple days. we should be around at least long enough to take care of any projects that are not finished.

I bought some stuff from them on here and after 3 weeks they didn't ship my item and refunded my money. After reading all these horror stories I would not do business with them again.

Mike everything I have read and heard about you is that you are a straight up guy but with all due repect I don't think an employee of a shop should be answering for a shop owner. I realize that any response from someone close to the situation is better than nothing but again you are not the shop owner or co-owner who is exchanging money with the shop's customers. I was simply passing this info along to help prevent any more members from this comunity from jumping into an already lit flame and hopefully avoid them from getting burned. Simply wait to see if the flame is cooled and what the damage is afterwards..

Most current thread on TR.. All proof of how much of a scum bag this guy is is posted there. I feel sorry for those people who are out thousands and thousands of dollars and have ruined credit over this scum bag and his investment fraud.

I just moved to Bradenton a few months ago and already I had heard of this place and its issues even before mentioned here or on Tampa Racing.
