Best way to get hold of him is to call, and leave a voicemail if he does't pick up :+:

Glad to hear you're still alive and well Peter! Do you remember fitting the koni sports suspension kit on my blue mk1 about 7 years ago? Best money I ever spent. Won't forget the ride in your Noble too in a hurry :thumleft:

Hi Paul!

Good to hear from you, and good to see you still have the Mk1!

Would i be right in saying yours was the one with seized bolts all over the chassis? If so, then the nightmares have reduced significantly over the years. :lol:

Hi Peter. Yes, you remember correctly. We changed it from the old, tired standard suspension to a koni sports suspension kit and poly bushes. Lots of seized bolts and took a lot longer than we anticipated. I remember driving back home down the M1 thinking, 'what has he done to my car?' as it was so firm and bouncing over every crest in the road! A few hundred miles later though when it had all bedded in it felt great and still does to this day 😀. You also taught me the importance of copper grease which I now liberally apply whenever I've taken anything apart 👍.

If that was meant at me then no, they were meant to be public. I was expressing gratitude to Peter for the work he did on my car which I was very pleased with.

Peter didn't answer his phone today after i let it ring for 15 seconds, but he did call me straight back 10 seconds later..... i was >...< this close to starting a thread about it.

It's almost as if he has nothing better to do :roll:

Mr2 specialists are very busy people, if we don't drop everything to answer you it will be because we are underneath someone elses Mr2 covered in rust and oil.
