I've often looked at their site for cars but none seem to be standard and modified a bit strangely for my taste - just something about them I don't like such as odd gauge installs or cars that look a bit barrier. Certainly worth a look for the usual day to day work i'd imagine.

Bought a car off them back in October 2011, a widetrack Blob with the PPP. On the day I bought the car they went to great lengths to get the car out onto the road from the back of the showroom so I could drive it.

It was a great car, drew particular comment when I serviced it a year later from the team at Powerstation at what a tidy car it was. There were other cars in the showroom that stood out to myself and my partisan crowd who came to see the car with me.

Only problem I had with it in the year that I owned it was a battery that went flat a few months later but I cannot hold that against them in any way, I found them very professional and pleasant to deal with.

I have not had a good experience with them, however I know one of the guys who used to look after my car works there now - his name is Luke and is very good, so as long as he does the work you will be in good hands.

Bought a blob sti off them in 2007. It was nice straight car and I was treated fairly. Clearly others have had a different experience but if you type in any dealer/ performance centre on here some will love them and others think they are sh@t.

I've bought 2 very good cars from them.There Prices are firm,most of the stock they have are low milers and I've never had to return either of my purchases-5 years in my classic and 2 years in my Blob sti and neither ever developed a problem.

you take your chances these days.!

I found them quite amusing to deal with. They told me they wouldn't let me test drive one of their cars unless i agreed to buy it previously. So I went down the road and bought from elsewhere with less mileage for less money. I know there's a few time wasting test pilots around, but bloody hell, do they not get the concept of a test drive??

Do a search on here and you'll find my unsatisfying experience with them. Avoid.
