For those of you that haven’t heard the full story, here’s some background …..

3am 25th April 2009 our house was broken into whilst myself, my wife and daughter were sleeping. The thieving mongrels stole our computers, ipods, cameras and the keys to both cars. They then opened the garage door (the remote was on one of the keyrings) and drove off with my D3 and my wife’s Subaru Impreza as my wife woke me up. I ran outside just as they drove my car out of the driveway and down the road. The Subaru was in a high-speed chase with the Police, but was recovered two days later. My D3 wasn’t recovered for another week, and by then was a write-off. To add insult to injury, the day before the break-in, we had been off on a 4WD trip, so my car was loaded with fridges, sat phones, CBs, recovery gear etc, as well as all my design notes, prototypes and some clients’ orders.

Back to the present: the missus traded in her Subaru on a new Freelander 2 TD4 SE and had her first 4WD experience (driving) last weekend – she’s hooked!! I’m still waiting for a replacement D3, but hopefully it shouldn’t be too much longer.

On the business front, I’ve recreated all our previous designs and started re-manufacturing those plates and side-steps that were either stolen or damaged.

So we’re back on track and looking forward to the next few months, as we introduce new products and training schedules for the FL2, D3, D4 and RRS.

Cheers,

Gordon
