NMS seem to have more of an interest in RST's than most places, and no one can doubt that Karl knows his stuff, I would say you would be in very safe hands there.

But Stu@MSD is a lot closer to the ferry from ireland (he is in blackpool) and also very well respected on here.

Depends on the spec really, if its a relatively modest conversion im sure Stu will be perfect for you and is easy to get to, if its massively modified Karl probably knows the CVH better than just about anyone else in that context!

Its not really that much of a difference. theres probably less than 20 miles in it. You've got to navigate round the coast to get to blackpool, or a few A roads to get to derby.

*p.s.* i'm talking from holyhead, incase you meant somewhere else?

Chris Todd from TOTD does know his stuff, took mine there a couple of years ago cant fault him, good Dyno Dynamics rollers too so a fairly accurate figure will be calculated!

Here's my motor there......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIcu6gf44Lk
