I just wanted to post a big thank you to our technical director – Skipton and echo the comments of many of the other forum members who have dealt with and met with Mike in person.
My wife and I, (with our little’un), made the 2 ¾ hour journey from Milton Keynes to Manchester yesterday to have Mike retro-fit cruise control to my A2.
Mike is a ‘true A2 enthusiast’ in every sense of the word. His technical knowledge is vast, (as the significant number of posts that he has generated testify), and he is a top bloke to boot.
I had no qualms in letting Mike loose on my A2 and the installation process only took around an hour. The end result is a factory fit look at half the cost. (Chuffed, I should say so!!). My only regret is that I didn’t have it done sooner!!
So thanks Mike for tripling the enjoyment that I already had in the A2 driving experience; it was a pleasurable day all round.
I would recommend that anyone who is toying with the idea of fitting retro-cruise to their A2 contacts Mike before he gets fully booked – You won’t regret it!!
Before I left, Mike kindly took me for a ride in ‘Tank’. This car is awesome!!
Tank is fully loaded with every conceivable option and the red leather looks top quality and is oh so comfortable. The SAT Navigation system and Bose that Mike has fitted himself, transforms the car further and adds to that luxury feel. (Every A2 should have one!!).
As for the power output, the chipped 3 cylinder 90TDI feels more like a 4 cylinder 2.0 TDI with the smooth acceleration of a petrol equivalent. And the sound of the 3 cylinder, which would happily pull off the rev range, was incredible.
Audi should have mass produced Mikes car – though I suspect if they had it would have retailed for around 30K.
Have I mentioned the red leather…
Conclusion – Top bloke with a top Car, true A2 enthusiast and a professional in his field.
Cheers Mike!!
Kind Regards,
Darren
