Sorry for my ignorance.
crazymac:
I stopped to talk to Scorpion at one of the shows about a suspension package, and their knowledge about the product was woeful!! They are a bunch of money men from London that buy products in, and in one case (Xeng) they started to sell the product then had their own made up and now sell that instead!!! That I don't like :evil:
On the other hand you have someone like Guardian and others that develop, use, design and build their own products, they are the ones that get my business, pure and simple!

There are some real strong feelings about these guys :shock: I hope I don't get this treatment for selling the jumplead kits I have, that are like Xeng. I Haven't copied them honest!!! they are just surplus :(scared): :(scared):
But they are fantastic quality at a price that is right!! :D :D :D
boss:
i have had a good chat about this with the owner of another well known company and he seems to think that the only thing that they have put thought into and have actually made on there own is a carrier for the fold up ground anchor thing they sell! :shock:
few examples of copied stuff(9/10 its a bad copy :lol: )
extreme kit: equipe4x4/lrs challenge suspension(exactly the same)
Disc hand break: x-eng x-break
All boxes from mobile storage systems
cvs look suspiciously like ashcrofts...but i don’t know about that.
there are many more but i dont have enough time.
i was at landrover fest ,talking to one of them about buying all the parts i needed for my truck off them and the bloke just walked off! then i find my girlfriend had been waiting for 10minuites to get a t-shirt and a hat off them! they know nothing about there own products there always late wit hdeliveries and there just rude! :evil: :evil: :evil: ](*,)
i hate them with a passion!
i think the only way that they have lasted this long is by ramming advertising down your throat! the only good thing about them that i can say is that they made me hate them so much that i found Devon 4x4 who in my opinion [throw it] all over scorpion racing!
