Some businesses come on board when you've built a following. Others were there long before any of it existed.

Bishops Garage and Rebel Performance have supported me since before Be OK Garage was even a thing.

Over the years, I've brought five or six of my cars to the team. From everyday maintenance and exhaust work to specialist fabrication, they've consistently looked after me and put serious effort into the cars.

One job I'll never forget was the incredible titanium pipework they fabricated for my R33 Skyline. It's the sort of workmanship that deserves to be seen, and it's one of the reasons I've kept going back.

One of the first times we properly started developing exhaust systems together was with my Mk7 Volkswagen Golf R. Bishops Garage and Rebel Performance used my car to develop a valved exhaust system that retained the factory exhaust valves. It was more than bringing a car in for a job — we were working together on a new setup, and that collaboration has continued across my builds.

They've also helped me out with exhaust maintenance on numerous occasions, often without charging me. That's support I don't take for granted.

Now they're working on something very special for the BMW E46 GTR. I'm keeping the details under wraps until it's ready, but I'm excited to show you what they've been building.

I'm proud to have Bishops Garage / Rebel Performance supporting Be OK Garage. More importantly, I'm grateful for the people, their generosity and the history we have together.

Drive cars. Make friends. Be OK.
