Captain Colonial Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Simon from the factory phoned me just now and asked I post this - due to torrential rain at Kingswinford, the roof at the factory sprung a leak straight down on the electrics and all systems are currently down. The website seems to be working OK, but phones and electrics (therefore emails as well) are down. When they get it back up, they'll post something online here. Just for added fun, the factory alarm system is assuming it's an attempted break-in because of the power cut, and the alarm was screaming in the background during the call. Good of him to let us know what was happening to stop rumours - thanks Simon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Westwood - Westfield Sportscars Ltd Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi Guys, The electrician came yesterday afternoon and gave us the go ahead to turn the power back on which is all good. However the server that runs our emails has give up the will to live so that's being worked on as we speak. Nearly there........cant believe how much rain fell in such a short time and how much chaos it caused! Kind regards Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
