Any Yorkshire Restaurant owners on this forum?

[YRRunner]

I am trying to establish a marketing and promotion forum for independent restaurant owners to compete against the corporate machine. It's in the form of a "support your local business" type model but will also enable us to create a cartel in order to negotiate discounts with suppliers on the provision of everything from knapkins to utility supply. If you are an owner operator and would be interested in what I am proposing, feel free to PM me. Thanks.

Hi Simon. I know you're a big fan of ASK. They are however part of a big chain and therefore not the type of operation I'm trying to help, in fact quite the opposite. I know Adam & Sam Kaye (ASK) personally and they're good guys. It's just a corporate chain and therefore not within the ethos of what I'm trying to do. Thanks though for your input. How's BlackiePauls old S6 holding up? Good I hope. You beat me to it by a couple of hours. A great buy! See you out there soon.

Only joking mate.

It's running very well thanks. It's just been in for a service at Aeromotive in Batley, no issues at all.

Cheers. Simon

I just liked the idea of swopping mine for an '07 with very little mileage on it. Jason at STR8SIX thought it would be a very good idea and offered to do the swop and buy my old one to upgrade to a 4.3, then he'd have an "off the shelf" exchange unit to offer customers. Best laid plans an' all that! Anyhow, I'm going the Power 4.5 route now, scheduled for post Le Mans 24hr trip. Are you coming to the Manor meet on Sunday?

Interesting.
Think I was lucky to get it to be honest. Was Phil at Aeromotive that spotted it. We drove down the next day and picked it up.
Yep I will be there on Sunday for sure. See you then maybe.
Cheers. Simon.
