I've just bought my first Porsche GT3 RS thumbup

First track day is next weekend at Bedford so thought I'd do a bit of planning for that post track day oil change and future servicing, can anyone recommend a decent Porsche specialist in the South West / South Wales / Gloucestershire area?

I've used Neil too, he's a good guy and reasonably priced
Used to be Alonso's technician and runs a GT3 (along with a mosler) in the Brit Car series

Neil comes highly recommended, all local TVR boys use him and he has an open day this weekend at Kemble 100 cars plus attending.

I can vouch for Neil, Great guy and certainly knows how to get the most out of a GT3 on the track!

I didn't mention him earlier as I wasn't sure you would count him as local ( I was thinking Bristol only having not read your post totally)

Very nice bit of kit and one of few that could prise me away from the Noble. Have you tried these guys, only thing I've brought from them is a couple of rear Boxter wheel hub nuts for the Nob, very reasonable:

Hi. The Porsche Club South West region recomend on their web site both Crispen Manners of Oak Tree Garage at Newton Poppleford and Andy Moss of Honiton (07762 244477).

I personally use Andy Moss and have been extremely pleased with his service and knowledge. He is a Porsche trained technician who still loves his Porsches and is a member of the club and a 993 cab owner.

Hope this helps.

Congrats Lupy,
