Who Built Chris Mason's S2000 powered Mk Indy
Ok, i've heard a lot of stories about my previous build and quite plainly they're not true, so before any company tries to gain work,
using my car as an example of their previous work they're wrong, very wrong.
I've let this slide for quite a few years, but having heard the story again i'm typing this message out, the people who are claiming to
have built it know who they are and hopefully they'll stop, if they aren't able to get business by cars of their own build then
that's their problem not mine, so if you've heard a story about who built it, i can assure you that i built the car from start to finish,
several companies supplied me parts and some obtained customed built parts through their supplies, utilising measurements and drawings i'd sent
them.
If i sound a little pee'd off then i am  , my opinion of the company itself has diminished and as such no longer promote their work, when
asked.
Oh and for those wondering who i'm talking about, It's not MK Engineering, MK Sportscars or Road Runner Racing, but they're
local to all 3 companies or at least they were until Road Runner Racing moved a few months back, incidently the company at fault moved premises too
within the last few years.
Oh and if anyone's looking for work doing on an S2000 Powered Kit car, then you'd not go far wrong by giving Mk Sportscars a call, Steve
Keenan has himself built a very nice S2000 powered Mk Indy R which has gone through a few transformations, 1st of it was standard, then it was
Supercharged and now, the last i've heard it's running a minimum of 400bhp and is Turbo Charged

You Know the story too 
I wonder if a mutual friend will comment 
If i'd got a tenner back for everyone who's told me the story, i'd have enough to buy another S2000 engine package

I helped fund it, by buying some surplus parts from you, so I guess I part built it, but I've never told anyone. Oops.

To be fair, all you have better claims to having built the car than the actual company that's claiming it, all they did was supply me some parts
at over inflated prices, if only i knew then what i know now, i'd have saved hundreds if not thousands on the build.
Just to confirm the company in question is NOT MK Engineering, MK Sportscars or Road Runner Racing, but they're close by.

Maybe people should keep stuff to themselves.
