My Car is Evolving........

As I sit here and type, on a cold, icy, industrial estate in Luton, my car is undergoing a transformation. The remap is being loaded and, well, I am very excited about seeing the results.
Evolve are looking after me well and have also given me access to their network to allow me to keep "working". Tis a school day after all.
Will post thoughts on map after journey home. Thats if I make it off the estate with all of this new found power!!

Wall.

Made it home safely! My word, was a very good car, now a really really good one.
Feels so much smoother under acceleration. Just brilliant. Really quick.

Must say a big thank you to Imran @ Evolve. Top bloke and great service.

Now, where can I drive to next......

Its wicked, trust me. I went round in circles....should I, shouldn't I etc. Warranty/insurance..... Heart won out and I'm really pleased. Told my insurance company, another £50, but worth it for peace of mind.
All in all, a good result.
Will tell the Mrs that it will save at least £200 in fuel!!

The Midi-Pyrenees are rather interesting but I wouldn't recommend driving there in one day.

He is abroad at the moment working on our mail order website as our web development is not done in the UK. He will be back next week after 5 weeks out.

Nice to meet you too. Glad you are happy with it

You gave it the customary "bloody hell!" review when you first put your foot down which is always a good sign.
