Living pretty close by the place, I've popped in there quite a few times, but I have to say I've not purchased a great deal from them. Think it was a pair of drilled discs and a set of ADPs actually!! Had the mk2 RR'd there a few times on the house on account of knowing one of the guys who worked there. I think the same kinda thing as Uruk really - I remember when I had an XR2 and I turned up to their gaff once beofre they moved to the current place. Tim laughed at me and told me to get a GTI. I thought that was a little odd, as I was asking honest questions and offering dosh to get the engine sorted (surprise surprise a CVH not working right??!) but all he wanted to do was patronise me!!
So anyway, after I got the mk2 I went to see him again, and he said "your engine's not right, better have a rebuilt one" rather than look at it. I didn;t take him up on the offer, just left it. Then a couple of years later, after I'd had the exhaust and filter on it a while I took it to a RR day and got it on there, and the man said to me "Yeah, that's a sweet motor you've got in there, really putting out good power". The chart said 146 (might have been 144, me and a mate were having a duel, see) and Tim was showing it as a good example of what a well looked after engine would do. Funny that the engine was 'not right' enough to have a new one a while back eh??
Anyway, post- Tim era seemed like the whole place had changed quite a bit. The guy I knew left, but still kept in touch with them all, so I was still invited to the RR days etc. I went to one early this year, and Neal just seemed to want to show his car off tbh. Wasn't offering any upgrade advice or information on setups or anything. Just kept chucking the cars on the rollers...
So I'm in two minds. Think I'd rather they were still going, but I didn't like the attitude that came with the place. And the guys that worked there seemed to know their stuff, so it's really bad luck for them.
