Latest on Lubinski?

Trevor--you slipped a new one in on me...'stonking'?? I can infer from context what this actually means, but I would prefer to be sure for my next visit.

It's too bad some entity doesn't jump on AL and seize the AC name for sale to a reputable business entity. I don't think Brian Angliss would be interested as he has burned out on the brand. It just seems like somebody out there would/could bring some pride and honesty to the operation. I could see c$ reaction if Factory Five bought it! Maybe the old chicken farmer hisownself would pay up...but that would only be a small step away from AL.

As I posted on the ACOC site:
People, understand the "empire" Lubinsky has created. The "AC" name, all trademarks, intellectual properties, names and all assets of value are held in Delaware, USA trust. He only "licenses" the name "AC" to his various iterations over the years. In fact, in the (unfulfilled) UK CVA agreement of a few years ago he was listed as a creditor for unpaid royalties!

Some of his former partners in Pride Automotive/ AC Car Group have gone to prision in the US for stock fraud, he was just far enough out of the direct loop to avoid the same fate.

He still probably thinks he can license the name to the "Project Kimber/Smart roadster" wet dream for a few quid.

The man makes makes Carroll Shelby look like Mother Teresa!

I hate to say it, but stick a fork in AC, its done...........
