Yeah, I've been there mate, although just to visit them (I know them all) and to see the place.

AMAZING dyno and facilities, and Gerry is one of the best mappers in the UK. You'll be in great hands... ;)

You driving up from wigan mate? Bloody hell, I thought I had a drive through from Glasgow! :shock:

They are top blokes through there, not been through myself *yet*, but ive heard nothing but praise from loads of people ive talked to.

As Dino says, Gerry is very good. Think he used to tune Toyota rally cars or something?

He used to tune Touring Cars in South Africa, I heard. Regardless, I'd place him as one of the best 5 tuners in the UK, whether it's with the Unichip or with other ECUs. I got to see him work, and I have to say, he does checks on the car before tuning that I've never seen others do. Having seen what I've seen at their place, I'd have no problem whatsoever in leaving my pride and joy in his hands.

for what its worth Dino, it was after us chatting at totb last year that I opted to use them instead of your old 'mates'. Stuart owes you one! And for what its worth, there are several well known local tuners (punn there somewhere) who I dare not entrust my beloved to....

What's your name, mate? I want to put the face to the name! :-)

Yeah, Stuart *does* owe me! ;-)

I might even take a long weekend break up there myself to get Gerry to check out my mapping. I REALLY want to have my car run on that dyno. And besides, Gerry is the Dyno King (what he don't know about dynos ain't worth knowing!).

Just got to think of a way of getting the wife to let me escape for a bit to go to Dastek. :D
