No-nonsense service
"I was impressed by the no-nonsense service offered by carjam, at much less cost than the competitors. In fact after obtaining free information on a number of vehicles, I was happy to pay the $9 for the more detailed information on a couple of vehicles I was about to purchase." — Alex Shephard from Hamilton

Don't miss the WOF!
"I noticed that my CEOs car had a personalised plate, so I 'carjamed' it because I was curious about the engine displacement and then happened to notice that his WoF had expired 1 day ago. The next day, I bumped into him in the lift and reminded him that he needed to sort his WoF out. lol. Then I showed him the free carjam report for his car on my phone and, being the techie that he is, he was pretty impressed with your site."

Wow - this wasn't meant to be happening just yet!
Someone, somewhere out there, learned about carfax and before we knew what was happening the server was overloaded and the site was down. We went from a few friends and family testing for us to serving up one page view every second at peak times. Our little server was unable to cope and needed to be restarted every ten to fifteen minutes. Fortunately for me Anton was on system admin duty and had the job of keeping the server up and running all Monday night.
