| Is tornado over?
Hi Gentlemen,
Tornado's website is down...
A friend of mine tried to call them yesterday with no results...Does somebody here knows if things are getting wrong?
Sincerely

Hi Marc -
It's probably just a technical issue with the hosting company or undergoing upadates perhaps... I heard from Andy over the weekend and all is fine i'm sure.

Tornado is the longest established GT40 replica mfr. They produce a great product and I'm sure will weather any storm. Like Paul says, probably just a technical issue. I'm sure we'll hear from Andy pretty soon.

TOO FUNNY !
People sure can jump to silly conclusions.
I guess that happens sometimes when your #1.
No worries folks, all is well at the Worlds Leading GT40 Replica Manufacturer.
I have a feeling some alloy upright and C/F Mono news is just round the corner too...
Best regards,
Scott

Hooray!
The website is back up so we are back in business again. That was a close thing.
I was worried for a while when the site was down. I thought we had gone out of business.
Is it really true that people can think you have gone out of business just becasue they can not get on your web site?
Its a mad world.
Andy

Andy,
Good, I got scared there for a moment!
Just in case, can you pay me this week in TS40 parts in lieu of GBP?

Good, I hope they don't get held up at customs!
Got to go now, two demo's scheduled later this morning.
With exchange rates being what they are I may have to quit my day job

Funny but I think the whole world (at least the electronic-computer saavy world) looks to Websites in the same manner as we did Magazine ads 15-20 years ago.. The first sign that a company was in trouble was when they did one of two things;
1) Firesale or totally unheard of warranties on service or goods
2) stopped advertising Quote:
