Fiona bought herself a Black Audi TT. Smashing car...fast, sleek,sporty, and ideal for two adults and two midgets...but not as nice as the Merc, (IMHO!). I digress...whilst on the TT Forum, she came across this guy below. Everyone speaks very highly of him...infact he's like a GOD! Anyway...in a moment of madness, I've booked him to come and revamp the Merc, inside and out, (which as it happens is badly needing it)! Loads of testomonials, all good...so fingers crossed! Apparently...it's gonna be the best £250.00 I've ever spent! Keep you posted!
Yes, I know...it's sheer laziness, but I think it's good value for money! The pics on his website speak volumes, (IMHO). He is one busy guy...can't get him till the begining of June at the earliest...can't wait! Anybody used him?

Seats, carpets, roofcloth shampooed...infact the complete interior gets cleaned. Then he sets about the outside. Not entirely sure what gets done here...but I'm led to believe the car gets a coat of something to strip all the crap of the paint, and then it gets waxed with Speedol...(which is supposed to be brill). Then Alloys get cleaned and waxed. The guy does one car per day, and takes between 8-12 hours per car. Apparently he never leaves a job until he is completely satisfied. Seems to be a bit of a perfectionist. Take a look at his website. After that take a look here :
http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/
and see what the Audi owners have to say about him. Now I'm only going by the reviews I've read, and so far, I can't find a bad one. I will however, take before and after pics as suggested, and post an entirely unbaised report...honest!

Yep...he comes to you. He leaves on Friday for a '10 day cleaning tour' of London area. He's got 10 cars to do in that area. When he gets back from that, I think he's heading our way for another '10 day tour'!...which I assume means another 10 cars!

Just noticed todays deliberate mistake...it's not 'Speedol', as I wrongly said...it's 'Swissol'. Never heard of it, but apparently it's the mutts nuts!

250.00 is alright I think. Anyway...I gotta get the Merc sparkling like a new pin...now that it's gotta be parked alongside this ****** TT, (which is sparkling like a new pin!). Not gonna be outshone by an Audi!

I'll post some before and after photo's of the cars he's done. I think it's OK value for money...especially when you see the results! I've phoned about to price a full outside and inside valet, and it's cheap in comparison to some of them! It's money well spent if it outshines this ****** Audi!

MercAl,
Glad you got your new identity, I don't know about anyone else but I found your previous split personality pretty confusing. Now you've been cured you can build your own tally of posts.
Cheers ,Geo.

I think you get credits in this area...not sure though.

You would think that avatars would be allowed from the start, but it would be an easy way to put up things that might upset people.

What colour is Fiona's car?

(I'm just asking so you can have an easy post)
