    I am sure some of us have had the pleasure of speaking with or had there engines rebuilt by Ron Lusardi at Superformance.

    I went to his retirement office party on Thursday as he eventually retired aged 72, After 99 dino engines rebuilds and many V12 and V8 in addition then I am sure you all agree he deserves a welcome rest.

    I understand he is such a valuable person that Superformance that they have retained him as their consultant so the old bugger still hasn't given up yet.

    Happy retirement Ron.

    Well said, Tony. I actually think it's 199 Dino engines, not 99! He rebuilt my 206 a few months before I bought it too.

    I'm glad to hear his vast knowledge is still available. A great guy.

    Cheers.

    I love that guy- very sharp and always helpful. I hope he enjoys some more fishing which he seems to be an expert at. He is the example of blue chip service…hard to find a guy like that . Good Luck Ron- you will be missed!!!

    Ron is a great guy, pleased he might still be around to consult.
    One of the few with experience and knowledge of early Dino gearboxes.

    a great guy; I have pestered him many times and he always had time and patience for an amateur. Hope he has a terrific retirement.
    so who do we speak to now? - perhaps we only have each other!

    Hi all,

    I've been experiencing lots of trouble/issues dealing with Chloe and Ita at Superformance, is there anyone else that comes highly recommended to deal with from the company? Thank you
