Hi to all my names Tom and i own and run a little garage called TCS performance at which i specialise in retro car maintenance, modification, repair and track preperation. I'm sure that there are many experts on here allready but i will be glad to try to help any one on here in any which way i can.
If anyone has any further interest in what i do my adverts start in retro cars magazine next month.
I own a 1963 3.4 MK2 Jag, a 1986 series 1 RS turbo, a 1988 MK2 fiesta with a 2.0 zetec on 40's, the van i built for work which is a 1990 escort combi van with RS turbo running gear and my trusty Isuzu trooper which pulls me and my trailer every where i go.
Look forward to chatting to you all and answering any questions i can. Many thanks.

Hey there- need a secretary/trainee mechanic- small so fits in fiddly spaces... To post pics you need the url from them either copy that after loading them up onto a photobucket account or by right clicking on the pic, going to properties and copying the url there then paste the link into the brackets that appear when you press the little photo picture on the toolbar when you post. That probably didn't help.

Hello and welcome. Sounds like quite a fleet - don't think we've had a Mk2 Jag on here before! Hope you enjoy RR - it sounds like you'll fit right in here

Welcome! Your entire fleet sounds like my dream garage, brilliant!! Combi looks great, and cant wait to see pics of the rest of your fleet if you post them up Technical knowledge is always good to have here, and i'm sure you will get alot of custom as its hard to find a garage that appreciates older cars these days.

i advertise as 'if its interesting enough that someone turned it down, we'll take it on' . I have found that alot of places turn down, rare imported or classics as they are scared of them.
