I have my S3 done by a Chap near Northallerton, Henry Baier. Very nice bloke and knows exactly what he's doing. He is extremely reasonablly priced. He gets races regularly, prepares a racing Wedge, my S3 and mawds' Vixen.

Depends on whether you are want the dealer stamp.

Not seen you around Newcastle, you should check out the North East Forum. We're a friendly bunch.

Bit of a trek, but Joolz at www.joospeed.co.uk is a top bet.

The Lakes Tour has been cancelled, but we'll all try to make the next scheduled meet. I'll be in a TVR, I drive it all year round. Most bring their TVRs, Lotuses etc.

Give Tom at TJ Motors in Boroughbridge (on A1) a call (01423 326575). He's good.
Specialist in Rover and Ford TVR's, He's honest and cheap. A difficult combination to beat !!!

Not sure where you found that date. We will be meeting up at Shafto's near Spennymoor sometime mid November but the date hasn't been set yet. It's normally a Thursday night.
