Just thought I'd say hello smile

I've never noticed this section on Pistonheads before!

Anyway, I'm in Kent - Kings Hill to be precise.

Oh, typical, another Pikey, isn't that just like a scaled up version of Lego-Land? Still could be worse you could be stuck with a Lotus as well!

Sorry...worse than that.....not only in Legoland but I don't have the Lotus any longer, and am stuck with only the "cheese-grater" for a car.

On second thoughts, Legoland is a step up, as I'd previously heard the place referred to as the "Village of the Stepford Wives"!

The locals all wanted Waitrose, Marks & Spencers or Saisnburys. Developers, Rouse Kent, the biggest bunch of tosssers on the planet, chose Asda and no doubt increased their pension fund at the same time! Excellent for the old Carbon Footprint (NOT) because all the Pikeys come onto the estate to do their shopin, whilst the residence only use it as a corner shop and then go off to Waitrose, Tescos, Sainsburys etc to do their shopping. Daft...well that just about sums up what Rouse Kent do for the estate.

That's about right. Locals want Waitrose or M&S, but we get Asda with just about the worst food around frown So the shoppers at Asda are 90% external, or else the lunchtime commercial crowd for sandwiches etc.

Anyone see the documentary "WalMart the high price of low cost"? (They own Asda.)

Yup, good route that. Or for a very short run out, just driving to West Malling and back is a nice road with lots of lovely echoing stone walls.

The cheese-grater.....on account of the side strakes.

no it's the not-so-posh end of Sevenoaks near the Bat & Ball traffic lights.

I think Lancaster own the site now as it was Maranello previously.

The top 2 pics are taken outside my home, with the first one with an obviously photoshopped background. The bottom pic is as Sideways Sid has described, taken at Lancasters (formerly Maranello) with my friend's 430 next to my car.

My garage is here:




Although I have sadly frown now sold that wonderful custom Supercharged & lightened Lotus frownfrown I miss it and suspect I'll end up buying another....

Maranellos didn't service my car, so you won't have done. I need to get it MOT'd in Spring and would be happy to use your place, but I need a place "friendly" to Ferraris. I'll PM you.

Thanks mate smile

Nope, floor's not heated, but the garage is dehumidified smile

The floor is solid resin on concrete. Let me know if you want details of the company that did the floor.
