I havent bought anything off Ant but he has worked on my car twice and will be having some more work done by him.

Without going into detail he has gone above and beyond the call of duty

Been dealing with him for 6 years now and know him on a personal level.

A true hero.

Back in the days when E30Zone did not exist this man changed my suspension and brakes in pitch darkness just so that the car would be safe as he knew my kids were travelling in it.

Has done numerous jobs for my company to the highest standards.

No job is too hard and time is never a problem.

There are loads of Zoners he helps with free advice on the phone every day.

A true asset to E30Zone.

changed my suspension - took all day to do all the arcane requestes I made and ended in the dark too and Ant worked harder than a tortured slave in a diamond mine - I hope to get some picks onto my old thread when i've finished the film in my camera to show the lovely goodies that went onto my car...

a very overdue thankyou Ant

cheers

Ant is a great guy, clearly passionate about e30's and really really helpful.

He has lent me tools in the past, and given me lots of advice. Taught me lots!

Today he drove over to mine (despite heavy traffic due to an accident) and looked over my car for me, didnt ask anything in return.

Absolutely top bloke :cool:

Thanks again Ant

Just for the record, Ant replaced my AFM, TPS, ECU, sorted out the throttle stop, got my fuel cut-off working again, and gave me a speedier chip for my 320i, all for a ridiculously low price. Oh and rethreaded two manifold studs that I thought I had destroyed - shows what a real mechanic can do. Decent guy and obviously really keen on keeping these cars on the road. Will defo be using him again.

A massive thanks to the legend that is Ant, I made his life hell today and the work he done was second to none.

Car felt brilliant on the way home and I'm sure that very few people could have done such a superb job.

I'd also like to add that he is one of the best guys to talk to about problems, He doesn't try to blind you with science just gives you the facts and your options.

Ant, Really chuffed with todays work, A huge favour owed. (Get me the measurements for the sign and I'll get that done)

Since changing over to the later ecu set up I have had a standered ecu, So after a chat with Ant, I have fitted one of his chip's and I am happy with the results.

And another thumbs up from me.

I had to change a coolant hose today and have not bled an M20 before. I had the usual issue of nice hot coolant hoses and cold air from the heater.

A 3 minute conversation with Ant and I had a spot on description of what to do. Five minutes later the car had lovely hot heaters, no air from the bleed screw and the temp gauge sat a touch over qtr.

Thanks dude, I owe you yet another favour.

Ant sorry for the delay but this ones long overdue.

A fantastic job on the downpipe. Too bad it has to be covered up with the heat wrapping.

For anyone who wants to deal with Ant all I can say is hes one in a million and the guidance and assistance hes given is exceptional.


Cheers
