I stopped by the other day and in speaking with James it sounded like Bob had moved out. The dyno was gone and James has ordered an alignment rack to put in its place. |

I don't know for sure Jeff, but I thought James bought Bob's Ferrari service out a couple years ago, but part of the deal Bob still did some of his other stuff in the shop. Of course this year I heard Bob was moving his stuff up North, which I believe you went to for the dyno. However, last few times I've been to Norwoods, Bob has been there. Maybe the move didn't work out? |

Keith,
I don't mean to "me too" the thread, but Me too!
Norwoods is a great place to do business. James knows exactly what he's talking about and will take the required time to fully explain to you everything you want to know. This is quite rare. You'll find good value here. I suppose I'm biased though; I own a Norwood Twin Turbo'ed 348. Beautiful car. Evil fast.
Rob. My impression was that James is now in full control of operations at Norwoods, but Bob still actually owns it, doesn't he? |

Just a ppi for a car I'm considering buying. If things go well, I'll be joining the owners club soon. Keep your fingers crossed. |

Yeah, as Rob says.
They get lots of press for their sometimes outrageous performance mods - ie 1000hp Testarossas, that sort of thing. |

Norwood's, now run and owned by James is top notch. There's probably 50 FC users on here that are customers. Any specific questions?
They're about the only place in Dallas that does PPI's. They're prices are about in the middle of back garage mechanics and a dealer. They're the only local place that works on Euro cars. They're also known for their performance modifications. |
