talking to Mark today he said he should be quiet during the lead up to christmas - I don't know about big jobs though because he is looking to move soon! - I would guess he could sneak a few set-ups in!

He would really benift from more room and he was also talking about getting rollers! - so there would be the option of a rolling road set-up or the traditional on the road blast!

Told you
Yes Mike, every thing you said about Mark was spot on! He gave car a good going over and noticed things that will need doing at some point - e.g. front bushes..... and gave me good advice about what to do next! He said the Ahmed springs/koni's were about the best non-coilover setup to get! - but also got me seriously thinking about an Ahmed rear beam... - can see me spending lots more money next year...

Euan - I also had a look at your car, looks different- but very nice with the black wheels on white and I love the front brakes! If only I could get AP's under standard wheels.
