Time Machines Inc. Response
The claim that is being made that Phil Somers built the SuperCoupe is just not totally accurate, some of what Phil Somers states is true. Yes, Phil Somers was the manager of Time Machines during our build of Motion SuperCoupe. Yes, he did work on the car but so did a lot of other employees. It was a total team effort. It would have to be because that car was built in a very short period of time.
He did not manage my shop for nine years as he states it was about 5 and 1/2 years. I would never call him the Time Machines designer as he states. Again, giving himself too much credit at my team's expense. We do not have a single designer at Time Machines but a team of quality individuals who help share their ideas which each build but let me be very clear that the final design of any car has to be approved by myself as owner of Time Machines. We, as the team of Time Machines, are just tired of Phil trying to take too much credit for his time at my shop. Yes, he was a very valued employee for nine years but he decided to leave on his own accord. That was his choice. There were 11 other people who spent much time building the Motion SuperCoupe. He did oversee the day to day operations during the build but the vast majority of the work on that car was performed by those other 11 members of the team that made up Time Machines at that time.
Thank you,
