    I've had mine in at Automek and they seem to do a good job. Think I paid £135. George Morrisons on the other hand is a robbing git! Went to him once for a service and vowed never to go back. Apart from being a robbing git, he's a bullshyateter. I stood in his garage arguing with him till he walked away from me. I am a mechanical engineer by trade so I won't have the wool pulled over my eyes. I can feel I'm starting to rant now. I'll leave it at that.

    Lol....... bullshyateter!!!!

    Never had an issue with Geo, but he had an accident in the workshop recently and spent some time in hospital. He's taken this as a sign to retire. I'm hoping he keeps the business going, but I'll bear APR in mind. 👍

    HAHAHA!!!  I knew you would get a bike, last time we were on the road bikes I could tell its was going to happen, even though you didn't think so.
    That looks lovely Del!

    PS not seen much from you on Strava again!

    I know mate. Been a bit preoccupied looking for a bike and it's too 🔥🔥. I don't particularly like cycling in this weather

    Why?  Does not compute...

    Itch that had to be scratched! Was into bikes long before cars but due to a job change 15 years ago sold the bikes I had in order to get a car and have had cars since. Something happened recently that I cannot explain and this is the outcome. Not sure what to do with the Boxster now🤔

    Just why tuppence worth, again.

    After doing another track day in my 987.1 last week, I still can’t except that these struts are anything but a placebo effect. My car is completely standard. I run it on sport setting and sticky track tyres. Taking corners at speeds of 90 mph, the car feels perfectly planted. Steering rocksteady, no scuttle shake, car feeling exceptionally stable with all four tyres slightly drifting across the track. How these little bits of metal can make any difference to a body shell that is designed to be stiff is beyond me. Even if it did make the tiniest bit of difference, you would never feel it at road speeds. Do yourselves a favour and book up a track day. You will see what I mean. You will be doing speeds on corners like you have never thought the car  would do. In the afternoon, I followed a race driver for a very short while on a couple of occasions. He was driving an Exige 380. Believe me, the Porsche wasn’t that far behind him in the corners, although I certainly was left on the straights! These really are exceptional cars in standard form. Save your money, spend it on fuel and go for a drive, (or a track day….).

     

     

    Oh get a grip man! For all they cost! I think I paid £25. Just allow those that have fitted it to be happy👍

    Not really liking the Pegasus either I'm afraid. I too prefer twin tips but looking at the shape of the rear valance I think an oval single would suit the shape better 🤔
