    Can anyone remember the name of the guy that ran a garage, specialising in Golfs, back in the 90's? I bought a customer car from him, a mk1 TSR 1.9 Lhasa green gti, long since gone to the scrap heap unfortunately. I'm trying to remember but can't. An Indian guy, lived in Hertford I think, had a red Ur Quattro. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Is that place Autocraft?

    I will put this on our FB group also.

    Thanks for that! And thanks for the welcome. I was a club gti member back in about, er, 1996.... good to be back- where do I do the paid membership?

    This garage was either Charlton or Woolwich, SE London. The guy was very capable with electronics as well as cambelt changes- which is what I think he was doing in Max power on one of their cars, they made a feature out of it. Would love to know if he's still into VWs.

    If you pm mat-mk3 or aminder on here with what you name and original #number was, they should be able to issue you with membership under your original number.
    I know you would have been a member pre internet so alias does not may not matter.

    So the answer to the question, quoting Mick Clements on the 90s FB page was "Steve d'Silva, of GTI Services (Greenwich Tuning & Injection)".
