The website has gone down a few times, but only because he hasn't been paying his hosting bill. Trading standards are meant to be looking at shutting him down, but as with the police, despite treating it as fraud they don't seem to be doing much.
P.S. Small correction, I paid £2500 (due to the aborted
Novice competition), but most people paid £2,950. There's even one person still owed money from David's
F1 shootout competition!
