Well, we're moving to new premises next week, From Goudhurst to Well Hill in Orpington( jnct4 M25) the new premisies are bigger, brighter and far easier to reach than the old, indeed now only 1 mile from the M25

looking forward to seeing some of you soon.

We're moving to full service/repair status in addition to the Turbo and tuning work we've done in the past, and can finally have internet and a static landline to boot.

Massive thanks to Toby(username toby) for assisting in the search for new premisies, no thanks to tonbridge council for removing my B2 permisson from the current site.

Good stuff, how big is the new premises? I used to live in Cranbrook and work in the Ford Garrage in Paddock wood not far from your old site!
Quick question as well, does will a 13 button OBC work with a Mega squirt ecu?

Sounds great - what other cars do you work on then? Not just E30s? And is there a discount for zoners? Always glad to hear about decent garages expanding...

Cheers guys

I do all BMW's not just e30s, although I prefer the pre 91 cars for obv reasons :lol: might seee the odd VW too, but nothing french for defo

new place is 1200 sq/ft with space for 5 cars outside, ramp is going in next week, may still buy another depending on £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£ flow

MS and OBC can work together, you'll need to retain the motronic to keep the signal to it but otherwise no issues fella, I know the Ford place, nice lil site dude ! ( you must know Ted @ PWMC ? )

Yeah i know Ted and the guys @ pwmc, haven't ben there for a while now as i moved back to Croydon 2 years ago now. The Ford place(michael cass garrages) is a good site but i think business is drying up for him so wouldn't be surprised if he sells up and it turns into house's!

Cheers Ant. No thanks required. You've helped me out with my car beyond the call of duty in the past so it's the least I can do. I wish you the best of luck in the new premises. The floor washed one day and then some blue paint on it the next and you're done. A ramp will be just so good, cordless broadband, email enquiries etc, cordless landline phone is a must (wonder if you can get those with hands-free too). Got to also introduce you to the Tally Ho pub in Knocholt next - really good food, and to the lads at Sunnigvale Service Station.

Give me a shout if you need help moving stuff.
