Sorry to hear about that Scott :oops: My trials-riding bud stopped working there a couple a weeks ago so its just Larry running the place now. I'll need to see him about fitting my stage2 soon so I'll ask if he wants any Elise work and get a rough idea of prices for A services etc.
Come to think about it I'm not sure if the Exige will get into his garage or the ramp without ripping of the front splitter :lol:

Mmmm, you have got me wondering now. I am sure I could do the filters, oil and plugs without too much hassle. I have a garage and ramps and the tools. I just don't have a stamp for my book. Seems a shame that at 46,000 miles to stop stamping it up. Still is it worth while spening £100-£200 just for that? <ponders>

Formula One in Newcastle is a lot cheaper if you're worried about the stamps. (I am). You could fit a wee borders run in on the way there(it's only a hundred miles) :D
