Default Lavenderhill Gagrage now open with Optimax

Optimax has been a bit hard to get in N London but Lavenderhill Garage has had a refit with more pumps and all have Optimax now too.

Could be useful for you N London boys and girls.

It's a general garage now - not just Subaru - although a lot of the guys are obviously Subaru mechanics, so they know their stuff. The Shell petrol side of things is now a separate business. No doubt Shark will be along to comment on this thread soon!

The mechanical side of things now trades under Ridgeway Garages. I think they have lost some of the better staff and despite them being 500 yards away I'm loking at alternatives for services.

Petrol side is run by David Medcalf and is separate now.

I've driven past about 50 times hoping the refit would be finished so I could get some optimax, finally managed to fill up on Saturday

Keep an eye out for me also, Black MY01 WRX

Didn't realise there was a shell garage on the Hertford Road

Evening All

It's good to be back up and running again. I don't have any official say in the Ridgeway Garages side but am willing to help if I can.

If your in for fuel during office hours don't hesitate to call in for a chat.

Cheers all

Took a trip to sunny canvey island over the weekend so wasn't me

Should recognise it easily enough as I've got a S600BY* plate.

What do you drive?

Jake,

nah, the car stays locked away and hidden from dodgy prying eyes.

On the off chance that she ever comes out from lock up, I leave london as soon as possible.

Jake, feel free to pop over if you want to see her, am happy to go for a burn on purpose.

Or even a nice sunday drive.

You can also get to meet the likes of Nom, Tweenie Rob, Mark Aigin, Moray mackenzie, Patrick Herborn among others.

Can even ring up Blow Dog, if you fancy listening to a ferrari V12!
