prob gonna get my arsed ripped for this BUT
i been there fair few times with the starlet's, and he is spot on with the unichip and starlet's, never ever had prob with him and sorted me out with prices on a few things,
BUT now i still have the unichip fitted and no one else maps them around london,
any idea's of ecu's?
In all seriousness now, I'm very surprised they lasted that long. After the disgraceful way I was treated I could have sued them but decided against it. Others may have. At least I can say that I had nothing to do with their demise.......it was all self inflicted!!
You know what they say.....a little knowledge is dangerous!! But some of us know that it can also be downright expensive!! I learned the hard way.
I say good fucking riddance. I know it sounds nasty but I really am not saddened by this news. And certainly not surprised.

No......priceless will be the quote he gives you to fix your car after he had demolished it. Then doubles it when he gives you the final "hit" !!
Could always tell when he was about to bullshit as he used to have a nervous twitch in the form of a "sniff" before he'd say a figure. It was as if he knew he was about to rip you off.
Well Ian......fitting your turbo will be "sniff" 1800 pounds.
Rebuilding your bottom end would be "sniff" 5 grand.
Etc "sniff" etc......
I recall this nervous sniff now all throughout my dealings with him. It only dawned on me recently.
Another tuner in the same immediate area also has this "sniff". And I've heard he is about to go bang as well!!
I think he and Paul Hills both went to the school of doing a small sniff before saying an exhorbitantly high price. Its like the Monty Python Ministry of Funny Walks......only much more fuckin expensive!!
Does anyone else now recall this nervous twitch? Im being serious lol!!
perhaps they have both caught colds as a reslut of working on cars in the cold of that particular locality?
or perhaps it was that "thinking" pause, you know, like on the computer when its thinking of stuff o do and gives you a little houglass while it prepars to dazzle you with lots of nothing going on?
