That's awesome...I stood there for a bit and nobody came out - you guys must be in the loo.

Are the cars in the showroom for sale or just display?

That is amazing Rich, I've just seen the fibreglass boot lid I ordered a couple of hours ago!
Do I get a discount for being able to tell you the bin location?

No they where just ignoring you, don't know why anyone would go/ring them when you can get a much nicer experience up north.

Very nice store and customer's area Rich, thanks for sharing.

We do have a few Mini Parts suppliers out here in the colony, I've been to nearly all of them and I have to say, none come close to that. Which is probably a handy thing as I'd no doubt spend all day there!

Great for burglars.

This way they can practice their raid like the SAS do without even having to leave their home :lol:

Even I don't get that one. :roll: :?

On a brighter note: The tour of the shop is just awsome. It's nice to know what our money is used for and where the stuff comes from.
Brilliant!
