Actually Guzzler you maybe able to advise me, a stage 1 was carried out in 1999 I believe (although not many miles ago) at PE, would it be advisable to have it checked over? Car is certainly due a set up/check over

Bracknell tyres by the rubbish tip are the dogs proverbials - you can tell, they're always busy and there's always a queue
Good (best) prices too imo.

Head has only just got the car after having an escos for a while.

Not sure on the current spec but think it may have a x-flow but he is currently having a n/a cossy built for it.

Since you're self-employed, try middle of the morning or afternoon, rather than first thing, lunch or 16:30.
Don't bother saturday morning unless you are prepared to camp there or be there at 7:00 waiting for them to open - they are that busy !!!

Well, I don't think I knew you in 2001, so no idea where I got the idea you lived in Basingstoke... other than you used to work there

Yeah, It belongs to 'HEAD' or Mark as I know him lol Got a 2.0 pinto in atm aswell.


See this the other day, I put him in touch with 'Jonnybravo' , For a nitrous kit, He's looking for 230bhp from the N/A YB, plus 75bhp shot...

Should go like the clappers! Looks a clean shell too
