Hi,

as the original thread is now locked I thought I would state our position on the matter on a new thread.

By now many if not all the car tuning community will have seen Ben Newbery's in car camera footage, especially the Subaru community.

We at the clinic pride ourselves in our honesty and integrity, 35 years in the trade, 30 operating from these premises and the last 20 specialising in Subaru's gives us a great knowledge base to look after tune or repair your Subaru with the research done on our race, rally, gymkhana and RX cars

It amazed me how quickly some members of the car tuning community jumped on the bandwagon, deliberately stirring up the situation and turning it into a media frenzy, its akin to the village coming out with pitchforks and burning torches hunting us down without giving us a chance to sort this, give our side of the story, make amends, carry out an internal investigation and disciplinary action if required.

Lets boil this down to its core, there is footage that we were not privy to posted on the Daily Mail on line web site, this footage seems to show a car being driven up our lane at 19 MPH, its alleged that the driver was deliberately aiming for pot holes when its clear to see that he tries to swerve avoiding as many as possible but due to the recent wet weather the lane is riddled with them making it impossible to miss them all.

Some audio is recorded showing the two lads having some sarcastic banter between them not knowing that they were being recorded, what else does it actually show ?, if the owner thinks we have done wrong the we openly apologise to him.

Our employee who has been with us for 15 years and is a very valid member of staff has tendered his notice as of yesterday requesting that I don't sack the passenger as he wasn't driving.

This witch hunt based on one employee allegedly overstepping the mark just the once has jeopordised every ones job here at the clinic and my life's work, if the community thinks that is fine then so be it.

This morning several messages left on our answer phone were listened to, they range from nasty to funny, I do hope the perpetrators of these messages feel so much better after leaving them.

A big thanks to all our supporters and your kind words by E mail, forum posts and direct contact.

Onwards and upwards,

Kev
