Are you a member living in the UK?

As someone just asked the question I thought it would a reasonable idea for UK members to make themselves known to each other.

The guys in the US find it handy if they meet up to check a problem out, or recommend local mechanics and stuff... and I think it would be good for the UK guys as well.

So if you are in the UK would you like to make yourself known, and maybe we can help each other out with a little local knowledge?

PS I'm not expecting the floodgates to open, but lets see what happens!

Did you go to Halfords, and have you ever had 3 points on your licence?

Hi pm! I nearly bought those panels you were selling on ebay a while ago, but I wasn't sure how difficult they would be to fit. How did you come by them?

Halfords was my supermarket,but they were very weak on the tuning scene.
Are they any better now?
Never had any points I'm afraid.That's with 21 years driving in the UK,
namely porsche 911,ferrari 308,Ducati 916,amongst others...but amazingly enough,no points.
That radar detector must have helped
We have in Lebanon a giant store[american style] called the auto mall[appropriate],that stocks everything from stickers to alloys,sports suspension,
audio,etc....I spend many happy hours there...

Ok. You're in!

Better get off this topic now, or we'll get it shut down. As I said, I thought it would be handy for us to get to know each other in case of emergencies and a bit of local knowledge etc...
