No worries. You don't have to have work done to turn up the open day! It's just a free for all look round.

[danyeates]

It will be mid November. I'll let you know as soon as I have a date.

Any word on dates yet Dan?

Opening on the 19th, so shortly after than. Sorry I haven't been given a firm date yet.

Hub said:

So is this about alloy wheel repair, yes? Mine are quite badly kerbed - a previous owner but I haven't bothered doing anything about it since I bought the car!

Does a group visit mean a good deal?

You don't need to get work done to attend. It's just an open day to have a look round and a chat and a good excuse for a meet.

They'll be able to quote for work whilst you're there, I'm sure for a new venture prices will be favourable.

They'll certainly be able to repair scuffs and paint wheels.

[danyeates]

Right, due to a delay in equipment delivery, the opening has been put back to early December, so the open day will be postponed for the time being.

As soon as I have more information, I will let you know.

Thanks for your patience.

I have a meeting with them on Friday (looking to get my wheels done too!) so I'll confirm days then.

Any requirements from you guys? Things you'd like to see, do, have on offer? Any suggestions I can make? Which dates would be best for you? Before or after Christmas?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,

I've visited the new premises for The Wheel Specialists in Ferndown and it's very impressive! They have loads of indoor and outdoor space, plenty of room to park lots of interesting cars.

There's loads of kit and machinery there with various wheel colours and designs on display.

http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/bournemouthdor...



We're organising a food van to be onsite serving bacon and sausages and other breakfast goodies!

Basically it's a good opportunity for a meet, have a chat with each other and discuss with Pete the possibilities of having your wheels painted. I'm sure there will be some excellent prices on offer.

The event will be on a Saturday morning, we just need to decide which one. I'm busy on the 12th January, so does anyone have any preferences over the 19th or 26th January?

Please spread the word and invite as many people as possible!

Dan

[danyeates]

The open day will be held in the morning on Saturday 26th January. There will be a burger van doing breakfasts on site, perhaps we could have a drive before meeting up?

Please confirm if you'll be attending on the 26th.

Cheers.

The boy's a bit older now....

Lovely, thanks



Ps. He's a lucky little lad! I had a ride out in Pete's Murci, awesome power!

[danyeates]

Of course, absolutely!

Good news about the competition, it was something I was going to discuss with them next week.

Burger van would be good for breakfast!

My car is booked in next week for the wheel refurb, so it will be on display in the workshop to admire complete with shiny new tyres too.
