The legal issues a friend of mine has been going through since he sold his Ace Bristol has put under the light the practices of some long term ACOC members, such as using the law to avoid bad publicity when the sale of a car has gone wrong. Whilst such practices are certainly not unheard of in this sad world where making ever bigger profits has become, for far too many, more important than common sense and basic morality, I am curious to see if the club will take any action (pun untintended) so that people in the know would not take advantage of their position to abuse naive and trustworthy enthusiasts who thought they were buying a troublefree car. I will not give names as I have better things to do in my life than triggering any personal affair against dishonest people who may well attempt in return to drag my name through the mud, but hearing about such misbehaviours, and to echo the explanatory letter of Barrie Bird in last month’s ACtion, I cannot help raising my hand and suggest writing a few names off the members’ list.
