Only listing 6 cars (both ferrari & mas) on their website instead of the normal couple of dozen, given what a complete PITA it is to deal with them at times I wouldnt be suprised if they are having issues

They were at Mottram Hall yesterday, and I think they stopped over for today. I went and had a look round later on, but the staff were finishing and of course nobody could utter those words 'can I help you sir?'.

Shame they don't ask local Ferrari customers that live nearby! Good job Maranello are only 3 hours down the road.

Such a shame they are located where they are, Wilmslow / Knutsford / Alderley Edge would be better.
The used to share the same premises as Porsche in Wilmslow, then moved to a unit behind it then finally to the middle of drug land in Manchester. Who would want to take their car there and leave it over night in the compound at the back?

Almost there with the history, so far it's up and down, one minutes pound signs in my eyes the next tears! I've sorted the bits out and it's not missing anything major so far, but a fair bit of the trim is missing frown

that compound is a garden shed! my mates scuderia was in it on axle stands! they have no idea !
All behind a 6 ft wall and a bit of razor tape. That area is like Beirut in the 80's. I once walked past the Citroen garage late in the evening and they even had THREE security guards sat in the showroom.

Stockport is like Beirut in the '80s? Wrapped in cotton wool, much?

Stockport? We're talking about Stratstones on Upper Brook Street across the road from that dodgy nightclub(forget the name) where the doormen got shot if I remember rightly.

I work in Stockport and admittedly it's not the greatest area but i would hardly say it's like beirut in the 80's.

Remember, Alderley Edge and Prestbuy are under a Stockport post code;)

Stratstones in in Ardwick close to the centre of Manchester, no where near Stockport.

I have no idea why I thought it said Lambo. What a 'tard.

Ardwick is worse but still... characterful.
