Thanks to Elms !! - Page 2

I'll add my thanks, too, Gareth. Really helpful and clearly knows all there is to know about the CSL.

As discussed, I'll be in touch on Monday to talk about the work required. Thanks for taking a look- a credit to Elms and a good reason to make the journey to Cambourne to get that work done.

Do I get another bacon but tie if I come back in a fortnight?

Was it your car had the hanging off splitters?

You gonna loose them. Lost one of mine that popped out at the top. Try to keep under 70mph!

Elms seems to be a great place for CSL's.
We have nothing like that over here at all

We do, to be fair have a great dealer in that they are very accommodating and look after their customers but no open days or the likes.

Yep, thanks, Emma, dan, Gareth and the crew. Next time if we can get enough people elms will be happy to give away a service on a m car up to an inspection II. It would have to be high numbers and some m3/m5 owners to get the numbers up but I'm sure Emma can keep us in the loop & help boost elms profile.

Looks like everyone had a great day, top stuff at Elms.

In fairness Chris, does anyone ever ask or attempt to organise stuff like this? I genuinely don't know but we had to approach dealers in Scotland with semi-confirmed numbers and suggest events/prize draws/BBQ's etc before they'd be interested. I'd have thought the likes of Bavarian/The Country Garage/DP would at least listen to someone regarding it. Especially if you included Mini as I expect they have a huge following.

Was basically just a meet but at a dealer, was usually a good laugh and judging by most of the dealers in our area, they're usually good enough craic. If we played our cards right, could usually get little jobs done too, at heavily discounted rates. I remember I had a brake warning sensor replaced for nothing basically, the guy genuinely enjoyed working on the cars. I know it's only a 10 minute job but still, if you'd booked it in, forgetting the hassle of it all, it'd had cost around £50, at least.

Worth a thought.

Hope not! Although you got me paranoid enough to pop outside and check. They look fine to me.

Mine was the SG on bronze wheels - is that the one you're thinking of?

Thanks Gareth - you only gave me good news about mine...

I've just been making some notes with some questions for Emma and I'll call tomorrow to try to book the CSL on or around 26 May.

I'm really sorry I didn't get a chance to say good bye to you - I had one of those 'where the f*ck are you' calls from the wife while my dad was looking at the minis! Top chap and really good to meet you.

See you in a couple of weeks!
