Seems JDC is under new ownership- http://www.eadt.co.uk/business/jobs-...kept-1-5701669

I wonder how much Jean Marc Paid for the business? BTW ‘Woodham Mortimer’ is the name of a nearby village. Slight lack of imagination there?

Yes, when I tried to research that company last week I came up with a blank. Seems the real owners are HPS, an investment company. Better be sure to maintain the profit levels in a business where nothing is particularly certain.

No doubt Charme took a big hit on the sale of JDC.....

Some dates for the calendar mods:

VSCC 2019 provisional 2019 dates. I see they're going to Brands Hatch next year instead of Mallory Pk (although the photo used was taken at Cadwell!):

Merc officially announced the ‘A35’ AMG version of their new A class last week. Luckily there is someone old enough at Autocar to know what an A35 really is/was, and included a pic of the Austin version!

I remember an A35 van that came in for an MOT that belonged to a "chippy" about 50 years ago. We failed it on a door sill that was made of a lump of wood
although it was perfectly made and looked the part

Varnished Iroko? Oiled Teak? If it was made from a softwood offcut I can understand why you failed it......

I thought you were going to say that the sill was mad out of fried King Edwards Gordon, then remembered the other meaning of the word 'chippy'!

It was even painted to match the rest of the vehicle and the owner had done a good job, but the guy that was doing the MOT tapped it and said it sounds like a lump of wood and the magnet test proved it
Good job he wasn't testing a Morgan !!

Especially if said Morgan has optional alloy body......

Bit of news for Mr Elwin...... Lotus are going to build a museum alongside the Hethel test track. Oh, and their new CEO (replacing the current stop gap Geely Man) is ex Sunseeker Yachts. Appears the parent company want to establish Lotus as a premium luxury brand....

Yes, I know. Something Clive's been trying to get off the ground for a long time. Just a pity Lotus sold-off so many of their prototypes etc some years ago...

What a shame, I find prototype cars so fascinating both in a what if? kind of way and marvelling at the engineering (or not!) that went into them.

Thank you Gordon . Interesting she failed yesterday as there are new rules on side lights distance between lights . I rushed back and replaced the reflectors with new LED amber lights . Truck now looks like a Christmas tree. I waited at test centre while examiner checked the lights . Had a quick chat with him and noticed a strong Scottish accent . What brings you down here I say . His answer was they are short of testers down here so he was shipped 400 miles to come down south for the week . Sure seems odd to me .

Don't be surprised that there' a shortage of testers, It's a crap job paying crap money with appalling terms and conditions.

There's a huge waiting list for truck tests round here, six to eight weeks. Mine's booked for later this month and had a check over yesterday, all the garage can see is a bit of damage to a wheel arch so fingers crossed for a cheaper month than last year!
