That IS good service! I've read a lot of mixed reviews of the old Chesil so maybe the new guys are treating it like a real business with real customers who want real service.

That's always a good thing.

And I agree with Ed on the gearing. I have a stock ratio VW transaxle from Rancho in California. .89 4'th gear and the ring and pinion is now a 3:88. At 75mph I'm turning a shade under 3,250 with 16" wheels and 205/55 tyres. I used to run a 4:12 R&P and the overall performance through the gears was a bit snappier (2,110cc engine) but it was pushing 4,000 rpm a lot on the highways. It seems much happier now - Me, too.

Nice Spa, BTW. Looks like a place my wife and I have been to just outside of Cork, IR
