SPD are back...
Anyone else see SPD at Stoneleigh..? I was suprised to see them there actually...
ARA were also there with their new DBR2 body...it looked pretty good from what i saw of it. Anyone else got any opinions on it?

What's up with ARA?
I can understand the concerns with SPD!!!

Who exactly are SPD? What have they done to make everyone dislike them?

Yeah....did anyone else see them at stoneleigh? Or was I imagining they were there? They arent listed in the show guide... (then again neither are ARA
so i guess not everyone is listed)

Looked like the chassis for an RS200 replica, and a 7 with a bulbous arse (GRP wasnt very good).

Possibly...though I am sure it said SPD on the stand...maybe someone else did buy the company...if they did they shouldve changed the name!

I think it was infact these guys....
http://www.sportsandleisurecars.co.uk
Who according to totalkitcar.com bought out some of the rsjigtec stuff last year:
http://www.totalkitcar.com/tkc_article_862.php (see about 1/3rd the way down).
All is ok if they have updated the cars i guess.
The snake looks like the 7 with a fat ar5e that i seem to remember seeing (think it was light blue).

I've spoken to the bloke on that stand at a couple of shows. Basically southern whatever they call themselves had money in rsjigtec and when
they went tits up they inherited the former spd/rs jigtec snake.
they have incidentally sorted out all the dodgy from suspension mounts.
I asked them about the spd 200 (rs200 replica) they had on th stand, suggesting they might rename it and develop the chassis but they said they
didn't own the rights to it and were selling it on behalf of someone else.. the plot thickens

I saw them. They were definitely there. One Seven type replica with rippled fibreglass, some pictures of other cars including RS200, and a scruffy
bloke slouching on a chair watching everyone walk straight past.
Definitely was SPD.
Thought the Aston body was excellent.
