Question

It's booked into Robinson's for first thing so my two questions are:

How do I get there? (travelling south down M6)

and secondly, what is there to do in/around Rochdale whilst my service is being done? - I am getting a run around (STi7would be nice

Cheers, Jon

My thanks to John @: Robinson's for letting me have micra for all of three miles, but i took it straight back as I did not like it, that and we had done complete tour of Rochdale.

John suggested we could pass the time by going to the seasonal ice skating rinq which I thought was a good idea having never done it before.....yep, you guessed it, I have broken my arm

Not sure what is worse - that I can't drive the Scooby or that Tia can and now won't stop driving it

not sure if I will be attending any meets on the 11th now

PS. Thanks to John, Matthew and the service team @ Robinson's, I was very impressed and will be back in about three months for my 66k

I wouldn't give Robinsons any kind of praise.
They are ok when you spend, but try and get something out of them and you're in trouble. I wrote to them asking for an explanation of my "account" on the 6th of October and heard nothing in 7 weeks.
My pal Paul has had his car in there since the end of June 02 (because they haven't a clue on how to build gearboxes) and he'll be lucky to get it back by Christmas.

Unhappy

Rusty,

Sorry to hear about your arm mate, You should have gone to SG Petch in Richmond as their Courtesy cars are 02 model Sports, and there is not an ice rink in Richmond

Cheers

Dave
