Recommended: Pitstop-Racing

Today, I discovered and I am delighted to recommend Pitstop-Racing of Brize Norton.

This is a proper workshop, where you can not only get your suspension set expertly for your own style, you can meet the mechanic and have a conversation about camber, toe-in and understeer. This may not matter to you, but if you are a driver, it will.

The inside shoulders of my winter tyres were chamfered when they came off, suggesting too much toe-out or camber. It’s now set to the maximum toe-in within manufacturer’s limits and the whole is set to my preference. And all for £57.

I got the impression that this is an owner-managed business, which may go some way to explaining why I got exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price from a person obviously interested in engaging with his customer.

Well done BT!

We have moved house every two years or less for as long as we have been married. For the first time (IIRC), today, BT swapped our phone line and broadband within a few hours on the specified day. And I only had to make a single journey through a labyrinthine telephone system. Who would have thought it?
