what to do is search bennis topics about random stuff such as shoving his dads toothbrush up his arse and then come back and offer your opinion on his mental stability and educational abilities.

Bennies profile should have a health warning stamped across it, to ward viewers of its content

The thing with companies is they know only too well that many people have passing fads. This could be seen as a passing fad, that after they've given you some money, had the car painted etc, you then went and grew bored of the whole thing so no returns of their outlay were to be gained. Im not saying thats what you'll do, its just thats how others may see it.
If its just a track thing then smoothrite the bastard....cover it in stickers and it'll look fine it action shots as you slide towards your first gravel trap Get out there more, get some pics of you in action in the mags then when you've gotten a bit of media coverage then approach people with your car as an advertising offer.

i know ellesmere port and have seen plenty of 15 year olds who fuck around robbing and stealing and getting into trouble, we have here a lad who wants to have a go at the car tuning game who is trying to get involved.

good luck mate, i know one fella in the port who is called ellesmere port ford spares,he can do you a nice job cheap if you get no where or you could try asking if there is any work you could do for free if he helps you.
They are at ponds yard opposite A Plant Hire,thing is things are shit at the mo so he may be reluctant but other than that he is good for cheep spares and so is dave mack who is A1 Tyres opposite B&Q, he has that place and the scrap yard down oil sites road and is well cheap for car spares.

Thats why you get no respect from me, and likely no respect from anyone else who is "known" in the industry and has had their cars featured. We all did it off our own backs first because we had to before others started to help us, when you have done the same - and are a few years older and have a track record to look back on - perhaps then we might give you the time of day.

Frankly I think you should just concentrate on becoming a dentist of whatever it is you want to be and then you can start driving a Volvo and stop posting up such bollox in your first few days of membership.

It's highly unlikely that we would vouch for an owner to allow them to get a freebie - If they then don't deliver then we can be held accountable.

It 'has' happened in the past that we've helped someone, but it would have to be a very well known name with a track record of fantastic cars to make it worth our while.

The whole 'blagging' thing has got out of hand in the last couple of years. Once, a simple phonecall to a company would result in the goods being sent out the next day. These days virtually all companies of any worth require you to jump through hoops to get the simplest product.

Hence my scepticism about this whole letter writing nonsense.

I think if he is still continuing to seek this kind of support he is very dillusional especially after what Bladerider wrote.

I know for a fact above anything else I would not want my business to be associated with somebody who wants to conduct an experiment using my business.

Thrifty... or whatever your real name is you really do need to take the advice of people in this thread, however you may think it will work it won't, majority of people in this thread have real life experience of this type of thing, you have nothing but hopes. Unfortunately they look dashed.

You won't be given a free break you have to earn it.
