Exclamation V-POWER AVAILABILITY IN LEICESTER...?!?!
Anyone know the state of play as regards V-P at Shell garages in Leic.?

Have any garages been restocked yet? If so which one/s?

Cheers.

I asked a shell garage in southampton about when they would get v-power and was told there is none in the refinery. **** poor show from shell imo. As other have said, **** shell put momentum in.

Rang my nearest Shell (Branting Hill, Groby Road)... I was told that a tanker is arriving at 11pm tonight! Let's just hope it does!

Roll up roll up... Ahem, 'Shell' () we all meet up there, "car cruise" style?!


I've never used Momentum 99 - therefore I don't know which Tescos in Leicester (if any!), stock it? Does the one on Fosse Park have it?

We'll both have to race there ultra competitively, just like the 'wheelchair race' in Days of Thunder.

I'm also running The Colonel's secret recipe of Jet 95, Esso 97 and Jet 97 (all of 'em are in the the tank at the mo!).

No boost til V-P.

Veep available at the Groby Rd Shell!

The far-most pumps (#5 & #6 I think?) are out. But the other four pumps have it from what I could see. Certainly pump #4 has it (where I filled from).


Bless her; she deserves a long awaited sup of her fave tipple: Veep (...if only she did "sup"! ).
