Looking for a good mechanic in CT
Looking for a good mechanic in CT
I have 2 Vee-trouble-yoos giving me intermittent problems and need somebody with more knowledge than me (though that isn't difficult) to sort them out before I lose my cool and convert them all to Ford powerplants! (just kidding).
1.7 L and 2.0L Kombis.
If anybody can reccomned a good, cheap, reliable mechanic, please let me know.
(I'll settle for two out of the three requirements)

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, and oversteer, the rear.
Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and Torque is how far you take the wall with you."

reasonable service, reasonable price
In the end I used a guy called Herman, on 083 253 1920.
I found his contact details on the CT Beach Buggy Club website.
I tried to contact the other guys reccomended, but one never returned my call, one was on holiday, and one couldn't book me in for the next three weeks (sorry, I forget which was which)
Anyway, Herman knows his stuff, and sorted out 2 of our Veedubs.
