Just been in there for the first time. Stupid really since i work 5 miins from it. Spoke to the parts guy and he was really helpful. GOt my shelf bracket and touch up (oo-er!) pen on order so should get them in a couple of days. Also found out that they have a full camber/alignment laser thing ( well VW next door do ) so i can get my handling sorted. YAY! all in all very impressed with them. Seems like they couldnt do enough to please! had a few well priced cupras in too!

Ya know I live just round the corner from Sidlow, in Crawley Down. And bought my car from them. They seem real nice, haven't had to take the car in for any maintenance yet though.
Whereabouts do you work Sparky?

Hiya,
Work in the offices on the roundabout thingy by the fire station. What about you? work anywhere near? anyone else round this way? see a few cupras around these parts! :)
I'm workin in Croydon at the mo, drive up the Godstone road daily (king o' the A22!). You'll probably know the car if you see it (see description below). Is your beezer yellow or some custom green? Light's not too good in the pic.
I used to do a bit of work on that 'roundabout thingy'/one way system. A computer firm I used to work for in Crawley had a contract with Reed Information. Know it?

This could be fun!:)
Theres no coppers reading this are there? if there is then i would never ever ever consider condoning this kind of attitude on her majestys highways. If not, last one to the end of the road owns a lada! :D
New building on the roundabout? Ain't that Ann Summers???
Surely you mean the other new building next to that one??!!!
And I ain't stupid enough to race you down the caterham bypass, I drive it everyday but you'd still whip me round those S bends!!!!
Might give it a go in the dry though?? heh heh :devil:
What time are you usually driving along there then?

You jammy c&*£!!!!!
Funny story bout that Ann Summers actually. It was gonna be some other factory but the local residents complained, and that was built instead! ha ha ha!!!
The posters they kept puttin up while it was bein built were a bit dangerous, I nearly crashed a number of times whilst avin' a good oggle! :D
I love those posters!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can believe! Hey you must be able to smuggle a few on the sly?
I'd be well interested!!! I'd like at least 10, and the phone numbers of the women in them!
If you can sort that I'd be eternally grateful, in fact I'd even give you a head start on the Caterham Bypass!! heh heh! Actually you must have noticed the speed strips they put down, looks like a speed camera's being planned!!!! :(
don't actually on the way down i can actually pull 110 on the way up i can only do 85 before i shit it.............unless its raining and then 60 all the way............there are always crash down there and you always see people braking round the corners in the wet.....don't these people realise that this is what cause crashes.................i can send you our new catalogue if you want one............it not bad for some solo love.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha

hahahaha,
Gee thanks mate! not sure what to say to that! How about just sending me one of the Ann summers models instead. Preferably not one that needs inflating! :D Could use something to get me through the week!
thats what the realistic fanny was for hahahahahaha
Dave, it's posters and phone numbers I want. Prefer the real thing is all.
As for those S bends, you taken em at 110???!!!!
No way! I bottled at 85, but it ain't been dry since I ad the car, we'll see. And I go slower on the way down, feels safer goin up hill.
Done em at 90 comin downhill in me old mk2 Cav SRi though, that was fun.
