You're right, but I carefully cited the example about Paul Southern's
SR20 because I saw, with my own eyes, the bonnet hit the engine and not
shut properly, hence a fitting kit that does not fit. I've heard other
reports/stories about Datsport from friends and former customers, but
none that I've seen first hand, so I won't comment. Remember, every
workshop will have some dissatisfied customers.
Just to clarify:
Slander Slan"der, v. t. imp. & p. p. Slandered; p. pr. &
vb. n. Slandering.
1. To defame; to injure by maliciously uttering a false
report; to tarnish or impair the reputation of by false
tales maliciously told or propagated; to calumniate.
2. To bring discredit or shame upon by one's acts.
Georgia is a state in the USA- TheRegister is a British site. I agree
with Rhys, 'only in America'
