Thumbs up Big thanks award goes to...

... Christian @ APT.

Took a trip up there today from Kent with a mate to have a long, in depth chat about a forthcoming "project" and I can honestly say that he is one of the most honest and understanding blokes I have come across.

Learnt a lot of info I had never thought about and graciously threw some of my thoughts out the proverbial window with good explanation as to reason why. Almost cut the cost of the engine build in half after talking to him so worth the full tank of Optimax on its own .

Spent best part of 2 hours with us going through specs and ideas for an engine build that he will not even be doing himself (I will be doing it and he gets the finished product to setup). Spent a good while going over engine management in "proper" terms, not tuner terms (I understand most of the terms, but my mate whose car it is has not got a clue so was nice not to have to translate it).

End of the day, he will be getting the job of wiring a loom up, parts will be sourced via him where necessary, etc... all because he took the time to listen and help basically for free. Not to mention the fact that we did not leave until 5.30 and he shuts before 5pm.

Again, top bloke award to Christian
