I interviewed Roger Upton back in '97 when I was filming "Bitten by the Snake". I never used the interview in the finished program because at the time, I didn't think that Roger would be in business too much longer.
In fact, he was two days late in showing up for R&G and almost missed it altogether.

I don't have any solid information about RUCC except for my gut feelings about the guy and his methods. Roger was an extremely nice fellow, but he always seemed to be in over his head. He tends to promise more than he can deliver. I think that he runs a very small shop with a couple of "good ol boys" for help. Frankly, I'm surprised that he is still in business.

Again, I have nothing against Roger, I rather liked him, but after meeting him I don't think I would buy a car from him.

Cheers
Jim
