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.

Have a look to Charme Capital private equity fund, it will tell you more.

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!): https://mailchi.mp/vscc/formula-vint...sletter-357259 |

I saw that Bob Bullen was walking about in the hills in Spain and asked him where he was, it turns out that he is just up the road !! looks like there might be a lot of old b******s talked in one of the bars soon

Im missing Spain already..... left on Sunday, arrived back in a chilly damp Melbourne this morning after 6 weeks of 30C sun, shorts and t shirts, beach bars and general perfect laid back Spanish lifestyle spending time at my Mothers place.

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!

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'!

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.... |

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!
