In other news DDtB is trying to steal the crown of "sh*t S1 that MMC have ever worked on". Apparently Brandon's face was a picture when DDtB turned up....at least Tut's car arrived under it's own steam without engine parts in the passenger seat :mrgreen:

Think Dave now has the crown of the sheddiest S1 in SE? By some margin too. :D

I've never used Murrays (or Ali) but have spoken to Craig, who is always more than accomodating. Had I cause to take the car to a workshop, I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

Will MMC work on cars with engine conversions? I'd always assumed they wouldn't touch them.

They might not be close to Inverness, but they are a hell of a lot closer than Sinclaire...

Sure MMC will be fine with that. Theyve looked after a few Honda owners cars from here.

Yep - they extensively rebuilt N1 TUT, which was a very early Honda conversion.

Craig @ MMC looks after my Honda 340r. Nothing but praise for Craig and the team.

oiiiiiii

Brandon's face was a picture as he'd simply never seen such an amazing example of an S1 with such an awesomely wonderful steering wheel too!!

and it's a fact... Craig has said on more than one occasion "we've had worse.... " so I've not got the crown yet. Jury is out on whether Tut still has it or every VX owner... :P

Cnuts!!!!

That's why Craig excels at his job, a bit like Graeme, he'll tell you what you want to hear! You car is a Tartan abomination! :thumbsup

That could be taken as a compliment in DDtB's parlance.
