Educate us!!!!!!!! Where are you going to get the same elsewhere cheaper? Unless it's a mate doing you a favour it's simply not going to happen, having a laugh is one thing but leave it out when it comes to taking the piss out of proper companies that we would be fucked without

At which point did i ''take the piss''??? i purely said the some of the same products are available by other people cheaper and there is no point in me mentioning names really as people start the old ''there shit, there better crap....'' you of all should know this martin with this tuner wars rubbish... like i said many a time i have met you and bought stuff off you your a top bloke, but mark is my tuner is sound and i trust him. people who slate either of you are narrow minded.

i have seen pro's work and even had 1 thing of theres its quality stuff weld is good they weld the old school way which makes the welds look far apart and very neat... but i have also bought parts elsewhere the place i use and its cheaper and is just as good if not better.......

like i said before it was meant as a joke but just cause i dont post all day long people run in and slag me off for my opinion...

You did mention lube for when he gets the bill which does imply that they are rip off merchants who do poor quality work and charge the earth for

All IMO of course

Good customer service goes a very long way, especially of the state of the current money situation

......but if you were to buy your Jaffa cakes at Tesco, remember you would be getting clubcard points too.

Did you know that Tesco also so their own brand version of Jaffa cakes too. Just as nice, half the price and also earning you valuable clubcard points.

Unfortunately there is not a store in Haverhill but if you happen to be passing Saffron Walden on your way, I am sure they will have plenty of Jaffa cakes in stock!

Phil is based in Wickford. Say hello from me! He is a top top guy and very good at what he does.

Now your laughing for cakes! 2 Tesco Express stores in Wickford!

Shame you were not doing the visits in a different order as I live right in the middle and could do with some ally sheet tomorow!

Actually, with all this talk of cakes and threats of Alex actually putting the kettle on, maybe I should pop up in the morning and pick it up myself!

I've enquired with Pro alloy with regards to custom intercoolers for my car, let's see what they can do for me.

Sounds like the company to use judging by this thread

Ive had custom one off parts made by Pro Alloy & the good thing with them is your not stuck with the standard line of products they are more than happy to make what you want to suit YOUR car so you don't have to compromise as you tell them what you want & then they make it better by design.
