Is there something wrong with their website? I have not been able to get onto it on any of my browsers, just continuously hangs.

Tried:

Safari
Edge
Chrome

Can anyone else get on it?

The BR website "Contacts" page I have saved is taking about 15 seconds to load. Changing to the main front page takes about 25 seconds (the front page is fairly graphics heavy). I'm using Firefox with various script and ad blockers

Their website is always slow, I think due to the use of graphics (but other graphics and video-laden websites load almost instantly) but it's never been this slow before. Either their website host is having server problems or Mike has p*ssed someone off to the point where he's being DDOS'd in retaliation laugh

Their web server is obviously on some kind of dial up connection. It takes around 30 seconds to load each page.

Was looking for some information around the exhaust manifold upgrade and ECU Tune for a Vanquish that featured in a YouTube video of theirs recently.

Oh well. Will look elsewhere.

Try David Appleby Engineering, they do the manifolds and remap.

it is very slow... could be a few things, but

either way they need to know that their web presence is 'up' but 'slow'

Saw this problem elsewhere recently - apparently an ‘upgrade’ on the web application firewall (the thing your browser hits before data is retrieved from the underlying servers) caused the delay - over zealous checks before permitting traffic is allowed

I just pinged them a message on Facebook - got a reply from Mike straightaway - they are shortly moving to a new website, appears the process has not been smooth.

Think that’s a different issue.
