Lol pmsl, I don't like you either fella 
Thanks for all the kind words guys and obviously all the not so kind ones from the haters. comical!
I gave all I could to the company and after my heart attack summer last year I was not well enough to do as much as I had been doing before, I'm gutted that the plug was pulled but I never held the wallet and David my employer was losing money, anyway life goes on and there are many great tuners in our area still thriving, thanks again to all our supporters, it's been emotional.

ToTD were very well respected and I must say they seemed like a great bunch of blokes who looked after their customers when I've been there for rolling road days.
Sad to see them go, I hope it works out well for all concerned.

I'll just get this in before the thread totally turns to shit, thank you to all our customers who actually had work carried out by totd over the past 4 years, it was not my choice that the company closed down, but unfortunately times are tough and overheads are high, thanks again to all the customers and friends who supported us.

Thats a real shame you've had to close. Always had good tuning done by TOTD.
I can think of 1 company that i really wishes does close and thats for purely due to their shitty workmanship! wont say who but they start with E and end with P!

They did wonders for mine and my brother's car through having the cvh turbos and now FRS lumps.
We couldn't have asked for any more from them - The best company we've ever dealt with.
Many thanks to Chris, Allan, Kester and Andy for all your work on the Ka's!
All the best.

mark if you had the l8 gear im sure you would do well from it, as mapping peoples cars leads to extra work surely, your the first person i would choose for mapping! how much would it really cost you? surely you'd have it earning its money back well quick.

All finished matey
The car is fantastic.Its a real shame they have closed, as the work they carried out was excellent and they were always extremely helpful.
Its good to see so many people on here have been there in the past and had as good experience with them as I have.

Thanks again for all the kind words, I'm starting a new job Tuesday with an ecu tuning and R & D company (Ecutek), so not going to be out of work for long, oddly enough it's in the old power engineering dyno building where I was about 6 years ago! and I will be back working with mervyn carrol, kind of made my way back to where I began!, they have a dyno but it's not used for retail work just research for their products, thank you all so much for the good luck pm's and hope to catch up with some of you soon.

What a crapper! As many have said, I've only heard good things about totd, and so was intending on using them when I managed to get some money together....Which, ironically is what I'm guessing has caused them to close shop. This economy is not going to be kind to petrol heads, and as somebody has already said, this is a sign of the times.
Hopefully we'll see an area six, style ressurection.

Very very sad when any business goes down hill
I would assume its the hard times and big overheads that have caused this very sad news
I supplied TOTD with a few parts and they were always very pleasent to deal with and gave me the impression of a very professional company
I wish you all the best for the future
When will this country get back on its feet

Chris,
Sorry to hear about this. Glad you have another place to work.
EcuTek is the kind of place I would love to work for myself once Dave Power has been tamed a bit..LOL
