Hi all
My name is john and my partner in crime is Angie.
Three years ago I purchased an Ariel Atom, at my age (52 then) you'd be excused for telling me I should have known better
The picture below better illustrates how crazy I must be!

Anyway, I've had enormous fun with it. I've done so many things with this car that I'd only dreamed about as a kid - trackdays throughout the UK etc.
Prior to buying the Atom I joined the Ariel Atom's Owner's Forum, there were only a dozen of us then but now, 3 years one, there are over 1600 members.
It soon became aparent there was a need for merchandise, embroidered clothing and the like. My partner Angie was working all the hours God gave for Mr Stuart Rose and so the seed was sewn - we purchsed an industrial embroidery machine to cater for the need of the Ariel Atom Owner's Club.
It's been an enormous learning curve for both of us, we've made lots of mistakes, lost and made money, but where getting there.
So, here we are, 3 years on and producing unique designs for quite a few car clubs and other sectors, even individual. This week, we discovered we were producing stuff for the designer of the McLaren F1.
We've invested back in the business buying other equipment and moving into specialist printing - it's been a long haul particularly as we both still have other full time jobs.
You can view some of our designs HERE (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v111/datasafe/Embroidery/?start=all) and order anything from 1 item up :) Just send me a picture of your logo/design and there's no commitment. PM me for my email address.
That's all for now.
Cheers
