Hmm... I remember Elstead, did a documentry there 5 years ago with my uni mates only to find that it's full of oldies and a not so obvious brothel situated in the middle of a lot of nursing homes lol.... and no... I didn't go in!
I've seen only a few modded Almeras in the Guildford/Woking area none of them N16s so you should feel very prestiged!
Leighs car has been at TJ everyday between August '07 to September '08 and recently the last 5/6 days with a blown starter motor and screwed map. I'm not 100% happy with these guys to be honest, they're good at the complicated stuff like crank shaft builds and head work but they're lousy at the simple stuff. To go through multiple ECUs, return his car with idling problems and not even assemble the breaks properly gets me to think maybe they can't be bothered standard work.
At the same time, they are a fun bunch and very polite... Just a little disorganised.
