Post Centre Gravity

Guy you lot should all go and see stop buying shit bits!!And spend your money here!!!

Over the last few years !I have thought it would be a waste of my time going all the way to Chris,BUT HOW WRONG I WAS

Ok The day" UP at 7am out of bed showered washed ,played with my pecker for a little while,but nothing came of it!
So jumped in the motor with my new dampers well 2nd hand, ones and some spoon spings Not recomended by Chris, i just had some so though i should use um!!
ON Route down the M1 road works !!Just passing three cars at full tilt and guess what!!!!!You wont belive me!!The oil bung in the sump undone and and !!Sprade oil all over the underside!!I noticed it in the mirror the smoke was like a jet fighter!!Fecking great stuff!! Any how turned motor of straight away and coasted to hard shoulder!Was there 15 mins and a recovery truck pulled up!I said i did not call ya'he said'you did'nt need to, its on Camera OH I replied is it free Yep he said to the service station!!great so lorry recoverd me there,as we took the car of the flast bed !The fecking bumper got caught on the loory and guess what bumperflue of!!Me thinking this is a great start to the day

Got JV a really good mate to pick up a new bung i had oil on board new bung in with new washer,and away i went! Drama over....

Got down to chris and had a laugh about what happend etc etc,and started work,Now i thought it would only take couple hours or so!!Wrong was what i thought would happen Wrong,
Chris wears no shoes,and walks on water!
This chap is quite somthing He don't stop working we had 20 min lunch break and plenty tea cake and chocs and JAMMIE DOGERS,I helped him take bits of and put bits back on.
The man Is just so so good!I wondered what the feck everybody was on about but now i can see the light!

OK Result I have 3 S2ks,and this with out adoubt is the best car i have driven.
The whole car feels like it should! Every time you turn you feel just the right amount of feel through the steering!
The arse end just will not let go in normal hard driving,and i got shit tyres on
I had over half a tank of fuel in when i left! Done over 100 miles of twisty roads even had to phone Ed To tell him that he was right! Best bit on the way back was three big bikes over took me! As they were faster on the straight but we hit a 5 mile twisty bit and one bike moved over for me to pass him,the two infront just slowed me down unreal!! Got to trafic lights and the two bikers in front both looked around and nodded their heads as if to say **** how did he keep up with us!!I just waved and turned right feeling very happy with myself!!

How to sum the day up!Very very happy with the results,Chris and Janye fantastic
in every way! If we all worked the same way,this country would be back on its feet with in a matter of days!!

My Car feels so much better than ever before !please people go and see him,soon so very soon!as you will not ever,buy any parts that would increase your speed as well as what he can do to your motor!!!!
Infact we should all pop down and see him for a day out or a meet!
If you read thios Chris i mean every word cheers and thank you for such a great day!! Burnie.
ps Hope the tarmac outside your place as cooled down by now!!!
