Yes I am teaming up full time with Oli Meredith (we have worked together for years just not that well known) and we have aquired new premesis outside Derby. We are in the process of moving equipement from our old workshop in Matlock so that we are both working from the same unit.

This will hopefully be complete by the start of February. I will make a public annoucment on here when we are fully operational. I am updating my website daily so please feel free to read as all the info will be on there.

Smidsgy, I do most of my machining work myself, i.e. heads, fabrication etc.

Oli is the owner of the red NMS S1 ERST. We have long had a working relationship in that Oli has always installed my engines into customers cars. We have decided to expand and brought all our expertise under one roof. As said check out my website its all explained on there rather than me typing it all out here.

Yeah Karl, I remember now, but I seemed to remember you saying that you did some of his engine work and he let you use his machines ect, or something along those lines!

Hi Smidsey,

Ah yes I remember you!

Yes I do use someones equipment for specialist things such as block boring and crankshaft balancing and in return I help them out. In this trade its common practice for tuners and engineers to help each other out!

Cheers all, as I said though I will annouce everything in early February once we are fully set up, so for now if you need any info on our new services just check my website.

Also may I add there is a 3rd member of NMS, Mark our resident professional painter and to say he's good is an understatement!!!

Hello Phil!!!

No I will always be difficult to get hold of. I simply don't have enough time in the day to do work and talk general chit chat to folk. I make people email me so that way I can filter the genuine customers from the time wasters as I'm affraid its not uncommon to get somone on the phone for an hour and all they want is know what to gap their plugs to!!!

Hopefully though with Oli and Mark manning the workshop full time there will always be someone on hand to take calls, though it may not be me you talk to!

The cats out of the bag at last then lol.

Ollie has done work on my cars over the past few years and his attention to detail is only matched by Karl

And Mark's painting skills are second to non

Infact this lot are so good they've got the task of reparing the crsh damage on my 3dr

Sent Ollie a txt earlier as i had no signal where i was
If you read this Ollie,i will fone you this sunday

Karl,Ollie,Mark,If any of you need a hand with the setting up (an extar pair of hands to move stuff etc) then let us know

And most of all Best Wishes in your new venture

I didn't know you were working with Ollie Karl - Ollie's a lovely bloke, and I remember first seeing the Red S1 in it's first Fast Ford (I think) feature years and years ago and drooling at how cool it was!!!

Best of luck with the move lads
