I do not see the point of your post

Whilst AC's progress in the 21st century may not have lived up to its media hype, they have continued to manufacture cars - post 2000 Superblowers and then the CRS/AC MKII Classic/Zagato/MKVI/AC378, to name a few and others that we are probably not aware of.

The continual lambasting of the company and marque post Frimley is concerning and considering it is voiced on a public forum, is detrimental to the hope of any improved relationship with the AC management and to us as proud owners of vehicles produced in this era.

We - the owners post 2000, to my knowledge have never criticisied the Hurlock or Angliss management, nor sort to bring it into disrepute, even though our opinions may be otherwise. We would therefore expect that as a custodian of an important section the marque, that one observes some respect for us and our cars, and the consequences of your statements that are visible to the public

PS. Admimistrator: Would request that this post be removed, as it serves no purpose other than to degradate both the current management and owners of post-2000 vehicles
