dirkthe1 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 could everyone not buy one item and not pay-also suppliers to them should surely ask for cash in advance from them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I believe he might have a message asking for a price for a new battery for my battery hen. And a separate message asking about extreme ironing. And a separate message offering a job lot of orange paint, going cheap. That goes some way to rebuke my treatment on the Scorpion stand last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 When you read - "Please be patient as our website is under construction." You just know it's going to be bad! We can expect the usual customer service then, polite, informed, responsive, keen published pricing, orders by return, no quibble guarantee, true interest in Land Rovers etc etc. I suppose HMRC and previous suppliers would be interested in the whereabouts of the stock if any and it's provenance, unless it's all virtual of course.

streaky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 But people will still keep buying from him no matter what the forums say. I saw the bit on the Discovery Channel where Scorpian prepaired the BMW support car for the 'Race to Dakar'. What a shambles! Then within months of that airing we still see the usual 'Cheque Book' off roaders in nearly every magazine spouting their brand new 90's with every concievable Scorpian part on it. I've never met the bloke but have a genuine dislike for him. I hope he doesn't team with TBR and take them down with him again....they are nice people.

smo Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Surely after Scorpion going bust, then its replacement going bust he must have been struck off as a director...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM_110 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You can set up as a Company Director again providing you're not an undischarged bankrupt or : •They have failed to comply with the Companies Act 2006 requirement to keep appropriate accounting records. These records must accurately reflect the transactions the company has entered in to. •They have not met their obligations to Companies House under the 2006 act. All companies are required to submit annual accounts and file certain changes with the Registrar of Companies. •A failure to pay taxes which the company owes and, or submit the appropriate returns, for example, the annual CT 600 form. Basically as long as you file accounts, and the receivers wind up your old business you just keep doing it. Just like Time/Tiny/The Computer Shop/The Computers Guys etc. 1 indian family, 14 bankruptcies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Again, sorry for the ignorance but I've always stayed well clear of anything to do with Scorpion Racing. Initially it was just that I thought they were horrendously overpriced and average quality, but then when I heard about them ripping off X-eng products and putting their name on them I made a conscious decision not to ever buy from them and, as such, blotted them out altogether."

pete3000 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 On a lighter note does this mean if you have purchased items from them in the past and need a warranty claim you can send them back for a full refund surely the shade of orange paint will be as good as smart water in identifying the product as one of theirs.
