PCD - Performance Corsa Developments.
Was called NovaCorsa before that. I don't think Pete joined because he was jealous, I think he wanted to do something business-wise and while Dave was fairly proactive, he didn't really have a handle on image. Loads of dodgy free web hosting etc. He also used to spam on here a bit and use 'we' when he meant 'I' in an attempt to make his efforts look larger than they were.
I'm sure Pete felt he could do something there. Ironic.
There's still a bit on the web about it.

Use those links with caution, there probably full of adverts and crap.

Lee, you have to get it mapped yet as well. Thats the really expensive part. To get it right and usable, not just 1 gazillion BHP is all in the mapping.. And that takes time.
PCD thats the one
YEah, as you say, he wanted to do something, and basically threatened Dave saying either I want in, or i'll start a rival company. The market simply wasn't big enough for Vauxhalls back then.
Dave was a really nice bloke, jsut a bit geeky and stuck with a retarded slaggish missis. I think she worked her way to another "highly modified car" driver on another site, then he sold it, and she moved onto the next. DAmmmm i hated that girl. Mind you, I think most peopel from Dave/Andys gaff and area did Also I don't think Dave had the actaul business brain. Pete did have the brain for it, he was a very good businessman, but he cared too much about image and possessions and looking good opposed to making it work.
Wish I had the bottle to give up everything and try it for ourselves, but not now
