At the recent October event in Norfolk, Nick "Admin Bloke" Tomlinson and Mike Ward re-tuned my car's engine and ran a fuel pressure test respectively (and the former of these turned out to be really hard work because of some, ahem, "amendments" carried out by a PO). The improvements to the car are deeply impressive - it now accelerates more smoothly and swiftly, especially between 50 and 70mph and moreover it no longer smells like an oil refinery. The mpg is also vastly improved. On the way to Norfolk, with very little traffic and strict adherence to the speed limit it managed 22mpg but on the way home despite much heavier traffic and the very enthusiastic application of my right foot on the M25 it managed 28mpg.
Nick and Mike, I am deeply, deeply grateful to you for your help on Sunday and in the past. Without your kindness I would almost certainly have had to sell the car in frustration and despair by now and would have missed out on so much. I shall look forward to buying you many beers at the next event in March.
See you soon
Richard
