Alive and well. They were at the Ace for Aussie Car Dayy iirc. Nobody on here mentions them.

Mark trades as Rapid GB

http://www.rapid-gb.co.uk/directions.html

and does quite a lot of stuff by all accounts, not just Monaro's. He may not be a PH site sponser.

I found a linke to Linden as well, it's here.

http://www.lindenspecialvehicles.com/

so presumably they're alive and kicking to.

Try clicking on a few of their links and you'll find they don't go anywhere. Last time I was there with Mark last year to use their dyno the place looked virtually empty with a few ratty ricers parked outside. Since Mark has his own dyno I don't go there anymore.

Hi folks

Yes, we're still alive and kicking. As mentioned, we specialise in LPG conversions of high performance and forced induction cars, but continue to undertake general performance engineering and race preparation. I continue to be an enthusiast for Holdens (so much so that we drive "his and hers") but we also have expertise in Japanese cars. As I write we have a "dyno day" in progress with twenty or so Subarus outside, with some apparently being pretty tweaky (well, we'll soon find out....).

We've kept a low profile for a couple of years, being heavily involved in testing alternate fuel for manufacturers (hence some of the "crappy" Q cars), but with the diminution of that work for reasons we're all aware of, we will need to make sure everyone is aware there is an alternative to consider.

Whether any of you consider using us or a competitor is secondary (although not unimportant), I would nevertheless strongly recommend you look seriously at LPG. It does make a "gas guzzler" practical as an everyday car, and the payback period is not unreasonable, particularly if you do any sort of mileage. We'll even transfer the system to your next car at a very significant discount! Either way, I'm sold on the benefits, as otherwise I'd have to think very seriously about whether any of my cars is a practical form of transport.

Regards, Tim and Linden SV
