I live in bristol and have just bought a modded mini cooper s and would like some one who is well clued up on the performance side to give it a check over.does anyone know if there is someone in bristol that knows there stuff and is pretty reasonable.

mate i was in bristol recently, well saltford to be exact but didnt have any joy at all finding any MINI performance dudes locally. Best bet is do what I did and make the trip down to Blandford to see Roland at GT Tuning, he is your closest I think. Takes about an hour from Bristol and a nice drive too
