Stop Start

[The 1958 Rocker]

Hi Andy,
like the rest, I am not sure about the name change, but respect you have your reasons which you may or may not be able to disclose at present.

I am not too sure about the ribble name, after all what if you were located next to a massive sewage works? Would it be called the Ribble Sh*t bag or T*rd.

I got interested in the Sammio concept because of the name being so suited to the ethos of the car. As all us older members will agree, never forget your roots. Really like what you are doing and where you are going, but feel that while you might need to distance yourself from the names, we all need to "belong".

I think it must be hard to defend your decision, when I get the feeling it is not a good time to explain why. Due to my marital situation this year the car has gone on hold and hence I didn't buy a "Sammio Spyder" body. I still want one and hope to buy one shortly now things are almost totally over. I will buy your Ribble valley whatever but will exercise my ability to use the Sammio name. On a more serious note can you tell me what the implications might be if I start with a Sammio chassis and reciept, and then "fit" a Ribble body with it's reciept and then take it for inspection with our lovely VOSA people.

Good luck and Happy Christmas/New Year
