Not in this case - it was a show of concern and care to make sure that everything was done at the right time and with the correct knowledge/understanding/info and km's on the clock.Each time I've had the car serviced (twice so far) has done nothing but reinforce the feeling that I've found the right people to move forward with - even a warranty issue I had was diagnosed by Andrew during a service and took about 3 goes and 3 months at Ford to come to the conclusion that it was exactly what Andrew said it was after a bit of testing.Took the car for one last run at Calder last Friday as a stockie because I knew it wouldn't be too long before the time was right to get the tweaks happening. The whole way home I was just itching to move forward on the mods. Next morning I wake up to a message from Bel asking if I can drop the car off next week for them to do their magic.I think my reply was "YEP" (abbreviated, but that was the gist of it)Am really looking forward to what comes next.

LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 10m 27d Posted 09/02/14 11:32 AM Share Posted 09/02/14 11:32 AM Nice!From what ive read on this forum you cant go wrong with pitlane. I'm very impessed on the amount of knowledge mick brings to this forum and takes the time to give people advice even though they are on the otherside of the country. It shows he's a genuine guy and loves these cars as much as everyone else on this forum and helps out when he can. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutest smile Worst part of being without the car now for a while is that the dog will be sad with me each morning when I leave for work - she can't fit on the bike. :(This is going to be like the lead up to xmas when I was a kid, getting closer and closer to the day I get the car back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
