Where is a good one around here (P'field) and how much does a session cost (to see what's being pumped out)?

Don't know the cost but the new one in Portsmouth (Airport Services Road) area is meant to be good, i'm taking the 205 there once the engine is run in.

I've got to get 1000 miles under my belt before I can even consider getting it tuned up, probably a couple of weeks depending on how much driving time I can put in...

Well report back on your experiences! I've got to move house (alas not in the 7) first.

Will do, i've only heard good things about them so far so i'm reasonably comfortable that they'll do a good job.

I know he has one and did look him up. Just over an hours drive for me, Portsmouth on the other hand is more like 15/ 20 minutes.

This may be of interest to you guys,

http://www.brookspeed.com/Independent_Porsche.htm

Brookspeed are holding a rolling road day and open day on the 16th August. I hadn't posted this up earlier as I was unaware of the date. I'll be doing my best to make an appearance, the last one was great!
