nope, sorry mate, guildford this w/e, to see a young lady.
she's prettier than you Corin
at least, that's the plan, after peninsula have conducted open wallet surgery on me, and i've got the car back. it's a long list
don't think i could face taking their corsa up the 303!

shocks, brakes, steering, it goes on...
i guess it's getting an overhaul. only thing we need to do now is take the body off and it would be a new one!

never mind - no broken bones ( though we'll wait and see what the bank manager does about that )

Blimey, everyones cars are in at Peninsula.

I'm off down there later today for a chat with the guys, so I can cast an eye around and check that your Tivs are receiving the appropriate and deserved TLC (not that there is any doubt).

No, not yet Corin.

After my initial thoughts came the uncertainty, then the need for a Tiv came back with a vengeance.

Bumped into Richard Mayoh on the forecourt the other day and he said to come in for a chat and a coffee (hence today). Don't anticipate buying one today (although you never know ), but would like to talk more with those in the know and assess my options/budget, etc.

Not driven any yet. That time will come and I'm sure it will be my downfall. Lets face it, when it does happen I reckon I will be reaching for the old cheque book!

Seriously though. On the advice of so many on here, I will be trying out a few before I do buy. Today may even kick start that process if I'm lucky.

I'll look out for your car. Cannot wait to be able to tag along for a blast with other South West Tivvers in my own car!

i'll be going - probably tomorrow. Every year i go anticipating it will be better than the last one. It never is. Same cars, same junk stalls. Still, i couldn't not go so tomorrow it is.

Corin - this is perhaps a better way of communicating seeing as we keep missing each other's calls. You coming up tomorrow? Perhaps we could tie it in with a cheeky beer

Well after reading so many good things about Peninsula, I gave them a call and spoke to Richard yesterday.
We'll be popping down there for a look, chat about our options/budget and to see if, at 5 foot nothing, Mrs kdd can reach the pedals.....

Chaps, not going to Westpoint, got parents up for the weekend. Kdd, worry not your misses will fit okay, my wife is only 5'2" and drives it no problem - without the PAS! Only thing you might need to invest in is the adjustable pedals from Leven Tech.

Saw your car Corin, just after I reversed into it only kidding.

What I want to know is, what's all this talk of exotica being loaned out by Peninsula?? I've got a Primera of 1995 vintage!!!

Eeeek. I think I'd better leave my cheque book at home then...... we're *trying* to stick to the advice of looking at quite a few before buying one, and not just buying the first one we like........

Thanks,

Karl

Karl, Warning! I bought the second one I saw, and both were at Peninsula. I only bought the second one because it was blue and the other was green (so I tell the wife). In reality, my car had a lot of work done to it before I bought it and the opportunity was too good to miss.

I know Peninsula have a lot of Chims at the moment (something like 12) and all but 3 are 4L. You basically will just have to pick the colour - leave mine alone!
