Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd website is now live.

3D Engineers and web developer Chris Young collaborated with Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd to create a new Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd website.

Homepage of revised Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd website

It is now "live" and can be found at www.spencer-lj.com.

It is a common misconception that websites can be created very easily nowadays and specialist help is not required. However, the Internet can be a very lonely place if you do not get your website and everything surrounding it sorted out correctly. Even worse your efforts can create an "amateur" impression of your company and therefore act as a barrier to business.

The Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd website is typical of how we work, in that the web design and everything surrounding it (the invisible features that are so important) was designed to enable the end user to get the best commercial result.

Should you require a website for your business, then please contact us.

3D Engineers win Innovation of the year at the International Historic Motoring Awards

Bleary eyed at 4.32am updating the 3D Engineers blog after a fantastic evening and early morning at the inaugural International Motoring Awards event.
Firstly, I would like to thank Octane Magazine, EFG International and the many people that made the event a total, magnificent success.

The evening started well when on pulling up outside the wonderful architecture that is the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel - the event venue - I was met by the equally superb car architecture of a Mercedes Gullwing and Bugatti Atalante. The combination of classic architecture, classic cars and people milling around in classic evening wear was terrific.

Had a quick look at the new station. Magnificent and combining the old with new perfectly. 

Subsequent to taking on board some gratis champagne, the evening began with fine food and wine and I was lucky enough to be on the same table as racing driver Paddy Hopkirk, Mark Dixon Octane deputy editor, Philip Porter the author, Sophie Kochan and a few other exceptionally pleasant and welcoming people.

After dinner the awards ceremony began and 3D Engineers was chosen as the winner for the Innovation of the Year category. The worst part of the evening then ensued when the most rubbish public speaker in the World - being me - had to go up and collect the award from Martin Brundle. As opposed to what I was told might happen being a quick turn around essentially being a handover, thank you and goodbye I was asked a few questions by the exceptionally pleasant and disarming Mr Brundle. Goodness knows if my answers made sense as fear was ever present standing up in front of my peers.
Philip Porter also won an award, so I think I was on the most successful table.

The highlight of the evening was still to come though and it manifested itself in Sir Stirling Moss winning a lifetime achievement award and having a three way conversation with himself, Tony Brooks and Martin Brundle. This culminated in a line that I am bound to get slightly wrong but in essence was this:
Martin Brundle to Sir Stirling: "Do you think motor racing is still fun"?

Sir Stirling "No. When Lewis Hamilton wins a race he has to speak to Vodafone. When I won a race I spoke to gorgeous ladies"!

Superb!
There then followed seeing Mark Dixon and Robert Coucher from Octane off in a Bugatti and Mercedes respectively. They were driving them through the night to Geneva. Frankly, the sight and sound of these two cars warming up and then pulling away from the hotel will live with me forever. From the strapping down of the luggage on the bench rear seat of the Mercedes to the warm glow of the Bugatti headlights, the whole scenario was a spine tingling automotive superlative.
I congratulate everyone who organised this superb event and hope it becomes an annual feature.
