Big up to Ant. Julian and Joe at Simpsons yesterday
Spent most of the day there to get a geo done and spanner check plus got them to look at a few things on the car (thanks for the handbrake lever Nathan - thanks for the supecharger CANTFIND1)
Very good value :thumbs:
I almost feel like they paid me to be there, but i will def take my drill next time and fix onto the wall their friggin disabled toilet bars as theyve been there lying on the floor for years now!
It really is worth the trip!:smt055
I couldn't agree with you more mate, great bunch of lads who did a superb job with my car :smokin:
I'll be going back when I know what I want done next! :hahaha: :thumbs:

Granted most of the items didn't take that long and I was done by early afternoon and no parts (all suplied fir once by me) but occassionally it's nice to leave a garage feeling happy.:smokin:

It can be a long day and a long way for some. I have had a project in Gloucestershire for two years which has made it easier and now I tend to either work when I get there or use the trip to visit business connections in the SW or friends in Bath (like last night)
but overall it can be very worth while and they get things done !
