Oh dear, like the worst kind of C******m owners, only worse again. These people must be desperately insecure and so far up themselves they are going
to disappear up their own backsides sooner or later.
The mention of "free speech" by Mr Fielding made me laugh though, he clearly doesn't have the first clue what it means.

What an arse
Read Here
as someone there said, it's ok to take an Atom and modify it, you obviously took an Atom and just modified everything behind the front nose
covers, including the frame and engine.... from first principles, as stated by "yours truly" this is ok....  you did not copy
anything, you just modified it all, to your own liking....
I on the other hand had nothing to modify or copy, for that matter.... it's all from scratch.... yes I'm also using "round
wheels" and coil-overs with springs that is made by H&R... damn I Have disk brakes on the front wheels... oh crap.... now that is going
to screw me over in court....
besides, we did some extensive investigation into the legal side of things, before we started this..... they will have to prove that you actually had
information and designs of their car... like the kind of stuff that happened between Mclaren and Ferrari. or that you took a real Atom and
reverse-engineered it...
sue someone for making a ladder from scratch, that kind of resembles a ladder, ain't going to get you horse-menure in court.... in fact the
judge might very well be offended by such an case...
well, I'm off to go fit some fender-posts... no time for this mumbo-jumbo..

I really think that
this is
something that would attract a copyright action!

Well, at the very least the DVLA might raise an eyebrow as it's incorrectly registered, and quite likely the V5 belongs to a written off
Caterham.

You are correct, ladder chassis can bee seen in engine bay, and the placement of the rear wings against the bodywork is always a little
distinctive.
Have your very own chipboard Caterham

Interestingly (ok, maybe not THAT interestingly ) that car is advertised in the classifieds in the back of this months Kit Car magazine - but as a
Locust and for £350 less than the buy it now price, no mention of Caterham either........

Doesn't really matter, most owners clubs won't have the finances to even speak to a lawyer to see if they have a leg to stand on. If you
can't even begin to defend your position (not that the club is likely to want to anyway) you don't have much choice but to back down.

amazing how, as soon as one starts to ask for specifics, or start to talk about mechanical stuff, they switch over to insults.... I'm still
none the wiser as to what it is about that car that one will get your ass in court for....
