...well no ode - I don't do poetry, but had to mention my visit yesterday to the electronics guru! (see website here)

Dropped in for a nice cup of tea and a chat, then proceeded to the garage for an alarm rewrite and key conversion of my rapidly dying last alarm remote. (Improved bar kudos now I don't have an old Vauxhall key).

Went for the all in deal with remote boot release. Now I can wow my friends at TVR meets by saying "look, I can open my boot from way back here!"

AND... he found the electrical drain where 2 other garages had failed. If I left my car more than 2 days, it would not open the doors, let alone turn over. Would you believe, it was the by radio! Problem solved - take the face off and radio isolated (yes, I know I should take it off anyway - but there you go!)

Seriously, I can thoroughly recommend Carl's services - he is a very knowledgeable, reasonable, down to earth and thoroughly nice chap!

"Alarm God"?!!.... ...those are just the kind of ludicrous boasts that will have more punters flocking to him and extending lead times!!

Counts for nought really... when Richard Hammond declares himself a "Driving God!"

Yeah, but as he has had ZERO clients coming back with faults, I'm not worried about his lead times now!

I actually put that in for fun - someone on here had said similar before, and one of the TVR garages that sub out to him called Carl and said "I hear you have been likened to a God!"
