Top bloke - is about to cause a domestic !
Went in for the second time today to get more parts for the veccy, thats me got 20litres of semi, 20 litres of red coolant, oil cooler, radiator in the last week - seemed to recognse me instantly ( think it was the red suit and white beard that did it...anyway)
Got talking away and he is gonna slip an extra discount here and there on non tc parts :)
He will also do an Irmscher twin back box discounted for me £320 inc vat which is a hell of a price i think. Problem is theres only one left :o
Now wheres that wife of mine - need to tell her, i mean ask her permission to buy it.

Gotta get as much out of them as you can ;)

This might be a daft question, but how do you go about getting a TC card...I plan on keeping my Omega for years to come so one would save me a few quid in the years to come!!

Blag one by pretending to be in the trade. Free. Tradeclub website access, and a printed pricelist :y
Join a club that is a member of VBOA (around £15 - £25 per year, no website or printed price list)

Umm yes but im think im barred from that one :-X Thats the one 5 miles away!

My Parts Manager is brilliant and is always very helpful (he is a friend of one of my best mates though). He even looks embarrased when he tells me the prices (even with discount). He once told me to go to another supplier cos they would do it cheaper.
That is what I call service!
The Service manager on the other hand, seems to make all my jobs last longer than they should just to squeeze me for a few extra pounds

Did you order the oil cooler kit against the part code I gave you?

yes i did Mark - Many thanks !!! :y
When i went back in i told him i had the numbers for the parts i wanted - he seemed at first a bit miffed but i just gave him the " look if its wrong you can shoot me" line ;)
He gave me it for around £85 inclusive of vat so got i think about £10 - £15 off a non tc part.
Still to go back and get the suppementary parts you mentioned to go with the cooler ( that was cooler only and the washers)

.....and seeing as Mrs Markiec passed Kev the other day and loves his car - she hasnt batted an eyelid on the exhaust - i even slipped in "yknow he said he could get an Irmscher back bumper too" My dilemma now is MOT in a month and i really should wait till after that as i know it needs some geometry/ steering work :-/
She is trying to manipulate me into buying another bloody horse, so i can kind of get all my own way right now :)
