MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Rolling Road Tuning
| Does anyone have any recommendations for where to take my 1500 Midget for a Rolling Road tune? I live in Bristol, so this side of the Midlands would be best! |

| You wont find a better shop and man then peter burguss... im not sure how far away, but even 1000 miles would be considard a short drive Prop |

| I've only used Aldon Automotive in Brierley Hill and Peter Burgess in Alfreton. Aldon spent a good 15 minutes convincing me that waiting for my car was a waste of time and I should go for a walk around Merry Hell, so I did, got back to find that they had 'discovered a cylinder with low compression' and has I wasn't around, they couldn't run the car !!! Peter, however was fantastic, let me stand in his shop, explained what he was doing and why, the car while fairly standard,it was still so much better afterwards - he sends you on a run around the block after setting your car to make sure you are happy. Attached is a piccie of my Sprite at Peter's, next week I and a mate are taking two Rover V8's up to Peter's road for power curves. Malc

| Slark at Amesbury (your side of Salisbury) are excellent - I had my 1275 set up by them. They're vastly experienced in the A-Series - but I'm guessing the 1500 shouldn't be too much of a mystery to them! (You make me laugh, AA! :-) |

| I came from Amsterdam to see Peter and his crew. I ll do that again sooner or later. And yes I do have experience with 3 tuners here in Holland... Flip

| If you go to Peter [Burgess] don't forget to stop at Greggs on your way for doughnuts...for coffee after Peter has done magic things under the bonnet |

| Another vote for Slark who did mine as well, Worth the journey from South London! |

| Thank you everyone. Much appreciated. Based on the consensus of opinion I think I'll now be heading for Peter Burgess... |

| Theres only 1 Peter Burgess. Its well worth travelling from Bristol to benefit from Peters skills. The finest tuner in the UK |
