Another A* from me. Very helpful indeed with organising shipping etc especially considering the meagre money in it for him. Genuine enthusiast and nice guy :D

Cheers,

Spot on help with the replacement exhuast. Whole system for £30 and even helped me rip the old one off and chuck the new one on. Nice work and a man who knows his stuff.

If it wasn't for being completely skint I would have probably headed home with a half a tonne of bits for the e30 with the amount of parts he has lying around! Thanks again

Second time buying bits from Rob and got myself a new door and some trim for the e30. The trim espcially useful as my fence had jumped out at my car a few weeks back!

I'm hoping one day to stop needing bits for the car but until then, there's a handy bloke with a plenty of bits and knowledge. Cheers

I think I charged him £40 or £50, can't remember. Though we did have to remove it from the car. Included the diff and all the brakes. :) Most of the stuff I have left is on cars on the farm and usually a pain in the arse to get to. So I am usually not too keen to remove a fuel tank for twenty quid, if you get my meaning. But zoners are welcome to come and pick off bits themselves and I wll always lend a hand and tools if needed. :D I make a decent coffee too! Though I only have south african teabags :eek:

On top of this came and met us a few miles from his house when the sat nav led us on a wild goose chase!

Door was in excellent condition as described, VERY happy to have made the journey yesterday.

Bloody nice bloke (and a true enthusiast as well). Would definiatly recommend him to anyone, and look forward to seeing more of his projects at some of the future meets.

Well done Rob :thumb:

A true credit to the zone, goods were exactly as described and a really nice guy to meet :D

Thanks for the tips on detailing I should be able to get my car sparkling again so I'll hopefully make it to one of your meets :cool:

Good luck with the new 2.1
