Sure would love another Northern CT independent shop! - LotusTalk

dma550 · 09-05-2008, 09:09 AM

Hey guys

In the wake of HRM closing, I do miss having a CT enthusiast oriented shop. I know another has formed in NY, but that’s still a 3-4 hour round trip for me, hardly convenient.

Does anyone have any independents they work with in CT? I would love it if a race shop like Farnbacher Loles or something local to New Haven or Hartford would open up

Farnbacher Loles has a shop in Danbury. I wouldn't mind getting together with some other guys and maybe setting up such a facility

I'm interested in discussing this.

I called them once, they're great folks, albeit a little expensive. I also have a buddy in Oxford CT that does porsche only service/race prep:
Daniel Jacobs LLC - Porsche Service, Maintenance, Repair and Race Preparation in CT

That has a lot of what we would need.

I stopped in Daniel Jacobs earlier this week, it's a very nice set up with service and associated retail store.

Interesting, I had ordered my switchpack from Astonmartin lotus in Ma on Friday and he mentioned something about "a danbury shop" coming.... Hmm.....

Hey Guys,

Check out Fairfield County Motorsport . Ask for Drew when you call. They service more then a few track prepped lotus and can take care of any service and upgrades you may need.
