08/01/2011 Our first workshop shutdown ever over Christmas 2010. We are rested and ready to deliver for 2011. Starting January 10th the workshop has changed, designed for efficiency and to give our staying customers a warm business like window on work on their pride and joy. We have had new Rotary lifts, floor covering, air services, lighting, Customer office suite, Jayne's office suite and professional storage. See our gallery of what to expect when you visit! Again many thanks to our clients for realising my boyhood dream of having a garage with a grey floor and working with Porsche come true!

Apologies for the lack of website creativity in 2010. If we could show you some of the highlights of 2010 they would include Porsche 996 GT3 RS, 911, 911 Turbo, Boxster 986 and 987, race setup of Time Attack Nissan R32 Skylines, BMW 1 series race car, Lola race car, Porsche 968 race car. Given time our gallery will celebrate the achievements including the addition of 'heat' into the workshop!

New Content Managed website is coming in 2011 - Malicious robots have almost killed the website in the past, to the point that content creation for us is difficult due to the increased security. Things like testimonials have suffered. So in 2011 we want to share with you our development and excitement for what we do through the a new web site. As always thank you for yor patience whilst we build it.

Warmest regards, Chris Franklin
