  1. They should just take the signs down seeing as nobody connected to the old business is there any more.
  2. yeah if it is that badly corroded then may not be economical to fix
  3. best go down in person and talk to them with the MX5 Rich. if the accord is sound mechanically it may be worth getting a quote - may be less than you think
  4. the welding was done by the body shop behind the takeaways on uxbridge road - looks like a decent job
  5. Not sure which brand the ramp is Rich but it looks state of the art. No problems whatsoever with hanging about in the garage itself - they owners seem pretty chilled and the dog there is as gentle as anything. Lexus is handling really well now!
  6. finally managed to get the GEO on the Lexus done! Now drives like a dream!
  7. that looks like bad rust Rich - would cost a fair bit to sort. My lexus just failed on rust on rear sills and the welding cost 300 to get it through the MOT
  8. hopefully getting GEO done next week and then wheel refurb can follow!
  9. Thanks for letting us know Rich. From what I hear that tyre centre has about one tenth of the footfall of when Tony/Jason etc ran it.

    New motor.

    bloody hell, typical though!
  11. basically doubled - had a mare getting a decent renewal quote
  12. Nice - always fancied staying in a static caravan but have yet to do it!
  13. Ended up having to take a hit and pay more. Now dreading the renewal on my Lexus soon - I expect it to go up a fair bit compared to last year....
  14. Hard to predict where things will be in a few months time. Best to fix for a couple of year & then at least you know what you will be paying. Hopefully by the end of it inflation is under control and then interest rates can stabilise or even fall a bit

    New motor.

    Think they make their profit on finance and extras - not much margin in the cars themselves...
  16. Yeah I saw on the other half's RAV4 a big increase and when we tried to get the quote down they said "no" - only securely garaged hybrid toyotas get a lower rate. the thefts of cats, parts and now reversing cameras, headlight units and whole bumpers off toyotas is so high that they are shifting them into higher risk categories. Apparently the Yaris is one of the most targeted cars by car part thieves due to shortages of certain items. Getting silly...
  17. Not yet Rich - needs doing though - will get round to it asap
  18. the tyres feel about the same as the pzeros - i know the wheels are knackered - they need to be refurbed but the car itself needs a bit of work as well on the body
  19. Had Pirelly Powercy fitted - now have a mix of PZero and these new ones. Its been a few years since Geo so probably the time to get it sorted as well as alloy wheel restoration....
  20. Hi all, just had some new tyres fitted to my lexus (two) and have noticed some vibration at high speed. Obviously I always went to WIM for the geo. @Rich anyone else Watford way any idea where I can go now? Cheers
  21. Would you recommend the michelins Rich?
  22. I like the look of it but someone my size would never fit in a sprite!
  23. Nice - the TTE kit cars from this era are getting rare
