: In terms of mods, he's different from so many people in that he doesn't just talk the talk, he really does walk the walk. Some people will procrastinate about their plans for mods and how they are going to tackle them and in what order. Stu gets an idea and then takes a hacksaw to his car. Much of his work is really innovative and he's not afraid to push the envelope of what is achievable and what is not. : I also like his motivations. Some people mod their cars to be unique, others for kudos and attention, some others just because they've seen the fast and the furious or somesuch. Stu seems to do it because he enjoys the thrill of the chase, and it's not so much about the result, it's about the journey. In that respect he's a bit like those people who are constantly redecorating their house, or always changing their garden. His car seems like a canvas on which there's always an improvement or embellishment to be painted. : Finally, Stu's work is always to a very, very high standard, and bodywork is one of those things that you can't bodge your way through - it requires skill and control, a skill and control that I certainly don't have. : I don't like the new front, I didn't really like the rear spoiler, or the skyline lights, or the blue paint. I like my cars stock. But Stu doesn't seek or need my approval, or yours, and for that I will endorse what I like, criticise what I don't, but always, always respect the man and his work. : Rock on Stu!
: First of all, Stu is above all else a really, really nice guy. He's easy to talk to, he's very friendly and he's absolutely passionate about his Max.
