you can buy one of their engines.......as long as you dont mind it blowing up after about 600 miles due to cheap and nasty parts.

i've heard nothing but bad news about these people..........its up to you but i wouldent have anything to do with them to be honest.

Please do not spread rumours like this about us .. it can, and almost has ruined a business. You have not personally bought an engine from me and any issues we had with parts quality has been sorted and all involved have been refunded or sorted out.

If you want to discuss any problems you have please call me (07969725194) or send me a PM.

Its really funny hearing from a person giving a review on a company based on internet feedback.

Ive had work done by chris and it was great, engine has done more than 600miles.

I too have had direct dealings with Chris and his rolling road. The guy was great and even threw in a new manifold gasket to replace my leaking one once! Ive got nothing but praise for him.
