I called in to have a look this afternoon. Very impressed . Lots of space and attentive staff. A coffee was provided within a minute and Gerald took time to show me round the workshop and site......I was a customer of Derby Stratstone and this is light years better.

It is very impressive, isn't it? Did you like the Vulcan?

Me too, just, bought my car just before they closed and glad the team have been relocated not far away.
Called in on Saturday and the place is stunning, just hope the service bills don't escalate to pay for it all.






And it would have been rude not to nip across the road for a nose about too.

I'm popping in later - been in a few times now and still find it very impressive . Went there in my DB9 on Saturday to take a friend for a nosey around . Mentioned an ongoing issue to them with my car and within minutes the car was on road test then in to the workshop .

So only 3 months after it opened it's the official opening launch party tonight, anyone going?

Bit of a silly question there Doc.
How can anybody,remotely interested in cars,not like the Vulcan.

"A rhetorical question is a question that you ask without expecting an answer. The question might be one that does not have an answer. It might also be one that has an obvious answer but you have asked the question to make a point, to persuade or for literary effect."

Anyway. Went to the official opening party last night. Very glitzy. Met Andy Palmer (briefly) and congratulated him on the excellent job he's doing. Good way to spend an hour and a half then a nice blast home on quiet roads.

Really nice space there, didn't get over to the open evening but I have popped in a few times lately. Dad was a customer of the Derby dealership and it was quite nice to see Gerald had made it over to Nottingham!

[PUMPMAN1860]

So did I....though the blast home was longer than anticipated due to a long diversion

Hi Doc
Dear Pete...although I appreciate your inclusion of a definition of "a rhetorical question" it was unnessary.
Although some forum posters may not know that definition,I am not one of them.
I posed my cogent comment as there are some contributors to this forum that have not been predisposed to the styling of the Vulcan,therefore I believe my "tongue in cheek" response was,I believe,apposite.
p.s. I trust you know the definition of "tongue in cheek".

p.p.s. Did you ask Andy any rhetorical questions ?
