RS 7 spokes came out 13 years ago mk 1 mondeo 1993

so did the esc cos type alloys 1993

later RS 7 soft spokes 11 years old came out in 1995

Susprized your boss let you put those old 90`s wheels out in the shop but saying that most bosses won`t know what the diffrence between new an old

alperton are a different cma,,,,,,, and jim and steve used to work there,,,,,, just before they closed it down ironically


jim is the manager of potters bar, edgeware and plaistow also hes the maanager of the mazda stuff too and we are the place that can GURANTEE the vans will be going out ( not send emails that daryl is ill ect )

you never did reply to my pm asking what you get paid,,,,,, im intersted to find out as i cant belive what doo gets payed,,,,,,, no wonder hes on the fucking take


oh and we also have NEVER had a bad stock take,,,,,,,,, when we done it a few months ago we was 3k up and we nevercounted the 400 901 plugs that where dumped in the stationary cupboard

alperton is a bigger place but they got the fucking worst staff there who are lazy shites and notice when ya request stuff late you always get a emailk reply saying they cant find it


but im sure there not as bad as the 53k missing on dags stock take last time, hence the one thre having this weekend
