Everything could be answered with a simple website but I actually think this is genius. Keep everyone in the dark and people will chat, speculate and before you know it everyone knows about it because there is no information on it. Brilliant. Notice I haven't posted anything for over a week now! and yesterday we had 124 drivers and I didn't have to spend time telling people about it. :-).

Genius!
You say keeping people in the dark is "Genius" ......... I call it ignorant and irritating. People will soon get bored of asking the same questions and getting no answers. ........... brilliant marketing strategy that eh?
To get the numbers through the door you need to advertise in the mags and all the relevant forums and give people the CORRECT opening times/dates etc.
If there's as much money gone into it as people think then perhaps some if it should have been put aside to hire a decent PR man
