Great news for you, see you at the Growl then - could be a little down on power, now you get to keep it get it serviced. Always surprises me how much power i regain after every service.

HL Gorners have been replaced by the Merc garage in Preston (see other thread), or if you fancy a trip, Hexham have a very good reputation

Great news g-boy!

Regarding service, why not try Ian at middlewich, that's not too far from you is it? (just not for a week or so though, want to make sure he gets mine done first! )

cool I didn't know he did regular services. is ian's service classed as 'full tvr service history' if you know what I mean

was a bit nervous abour drving on the motorway for some reason but I drove today and it wad a doddle. the car feels far more comfortable at high speed than low. obviously needs less clutch which is always good!

You're killing me mate...

Not that fast? Just keep your toe down until the little needle reaches 6,000.... you won't find a 500 much faster, it'll just kill you sooner
