Friend of mine is travelling from Milton Keynes to Blackburn and staying in a hotel there next week just to have Martin work on his car. He says they are the proverbial dogs and has used them in the past, won't take his GT-Four anywhere else. If he knows them, he'll know MR2s well enough ;)

I've known of Martin for years on the gt4oc and he's been very helpful by PM. His reputation stands before him and he seems very level headed. I don't think you can do wrong by him by all accounts. If he was closer I'd be there for all my problems. It would be good if he got known as an MR2 guy as well, another person slightly further north at least.

Hiya

I have been trading as my own company for 10+ years as rik has mentioned, picked my first spanner up at 5 yr old, built my first engine at 13 and never looked back really just gutted it took me so long to actually take the plunge and go self employed, whereabouts in blackburn are you my unit at the moment is at roe lee but I am in the process of buying an mot station at guide at the back of the king edward pub which is just round the corner from my house, bob over for a chat if you like

I will do a proper formal intro once my trader status has been sorted, not heard anything back yet so I have tried the email system this time rather than pm

Roe lee is 10mins away for me

Guide is 5 mins!

My recent works have been new timing belt, water pump that I went to great harwood for, not saying they did a bad job but it was a long way to get pick up and dropped off.

I might bob over and have a chin wag with you in the near future. :thumleft:
