 Is the "Other Place" in trouble? - zippy
Rumours are circulating that Heycar, the owners of the other place are closing after VW have pulled out due to ongoing losses.

Sadly there are likely to be a lot of job losses.

I hope the other place survives.

Number of users both here and there have declined substantially as age takes it toll.

The other other place where Grumpy Old *arts gathered seems to have shut up too.

What is this 'other place' you allude to? I always thought it was HJ which seems to be fine.

It is FC. The owners, Haycar Ltd are in trouble. I am hoping that the HJ website can be saved.

Be a shame if it does go, we wouldn't be here but for HJ.

I wonder what he's up to now?

What's HJ up to now?

Apart from some details gathered just over a year ago (www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/197829/what-has-happened-to ),

there is this brief bio: thesgmw.co.uk/peter-lorimer/ Note that the website he was running at one point no longer functions.

Nowadays he sells toy cars on eBay, e.g. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fss=1&_saslop=1&_sasl=honestca_32&LH_SpecificSeller=1

His username is honestca_32.

He's also on X: x.com/hjhimself

ORB from HJ posted on HJ that he has applied but his account hasn't been opened? Is this a technical glitch?
