My Sat Nav is usually pretty good...........
Discussion
but today I failed miserably to find Bespoke Performance 
.
Good day, good roads, so I took a little trip to Hertford to do a recky. I thought they'd be closed for the weekend but just wanted to be nosey really - you know the sort of thing..... press my face up against a few windows & see what's going on
.
Utter fail. Got to the industrial estate. Even got to Fountain Drive. No signs to Bespoke Performance but found a small 'TVR' sign at the end of a cul-de-sac but the unit didn't look like the one in the photo on the website. Next door looked more promising but it appeared to be for Marshall Panelcraft.
Are the businesses related? Put me out of my misery someone

Dear Mick
Bespoke Performance share premises with Marshall Panelcraft, see link to finding them...

It would appear you were actually outside!

I went down there one evening (pitch black) to drop off my car and i struggled to find them too lol I drove round in the dark (non-hids at the time) looking for them and asked one guy who said I kept driving past it and it was in the next section!
So I drove back and becuase they had the shutters closed so I didnt see them and ended up going to the office block next door and asking. I think they get it a lot and told me to walk further down to the next door.
They really do need a bigger sign lol I think the marshall panel craft door you were looking at was the one!

Yes, it can be a bit of a challenge the first time you go looking for them
- Once you drive down Merchant Dr and hit Fountain, turn right and drive up the road
- Look for signs for Marshell's (its the first turn off to the right from memory)
- There is a lot of TVR stock parked in front of it. The building right next to the Marshell reception.
The entrance is next to a larger set of bay doors from what I recall.
They do place signs out, but only during office hours I think.

Ah, I feel less of a numpty now..........thanks fellas

To make matters worse on Saturday, the gates were closed so I couldn't even get close, what with the 8 foot post & rail fences, it was a bit like Fort Knox.
At least car owners can feel pretty sure their machines are secure enough in the evenings and at weekends!
Perhaps the absence of signage is intentional for the same reasons?
Oh well, I'll get my to see them for my free coffee & biscuits one day

Aha.......comedians 
I'll have you know the H&B TVRCC is notorious for getting lost, so that won't help at all.
1). Chimjunkie's cheapo nav. took us into a farmyard once where we were attacked by the farmer's wife and my splitter fell off.
2). Ceri's pigeon nav. Woody took us 3 times round a roundabout and into a field where my splitter fell off again.
So, just because the TVRCC are involved, don't think it's all pipe & slippers & gentleman's smoking club efficiency, because I have a twisted splitter on the rear shelf that proves otherwise
Oh, & Mickk's cerby would probably get as far as Hertford North station before the alternator drops off or the wipers start up on their own
