ROBOCOP, Ian must love you for that write up!
Speaking as a dealer myself I can say that everyone in this game looks to be the best in their particular specialization. Ian's set up is the best set up in the country by far and I wish to get somewhere near it one day (as if). This proves he is very successful!
To give you some idea of Ian's nature, when I took my car to PowerStation for wheel alignment, (by Fuzz) Ian saw my car with WRX.CO.UK 'Subaru Impreza specialist' sprawled down each side, I felt a bit uncomfortable in the heart of another dealer. Ian came along, smiled and said "lovely car mate!" and put me at ease, almost thought of buying a car when I was there!!
Can't let him get away with everything though, saw him on the track at JAPFEST shortly after...

Considering I am praising the competion, the link will add depth and meaning, otherwise it would be meaningless.

Great write-up Kevin. Congratulations, looks like you have a bit of a beast there.
Webbie's right ... everyone's got a Spec C now ... just goes to show what great cars they are.

Thanks for the review [R80 C0P] in the name of the comunity specially from the ones who has an eye in one of Ian's car.
Out of interest, what are the figures in the Powerstation dyno for a regular UK MY05 STi? Whould be possible to see a dyno chart from an anonimous owner?
PS: Ian, I sent an email to 'info@litchfieldimports.co.uk' last week. It may not arrive to you since my email is @hotmail and this may result it to considered spam? I'll be pleased to re-send if it has not arrived as soon as you tell me to. Thanks!
