I too would add to the comment of both Simon & Jim .... Gareth is a LEGEND in these parts....

If he rang me now (9:25 on a Sat night) & asked me fer MY help ....I'd be reachin fer my keys & be off outta the door!!! (& Sussex is a Loooooog way from Blackpool!!!)

I cannot praise Gareth enough .... TOP BLOKE, LEGEND, THE MAIN MAN ..just does NOT cover it .....

[QUOTE=Luxobarge;861504]Just had the huge pleasure of meeting the man himself today. I needed a fog lamp, a spark plug cover and a headlamp - not only did he come up with these parts for me, rather than post them he drove all the way from Chichester today (which is quite a fair drive) and actually delivered them! And then apologised for not being earlier for goodness sake....

The parts are perfect - in fact the headlamp looks virtually brand new!

His wife and beatiful baby are lovely too by the way.

Gareth - you're not just an absolutely top bloke, you're a legend! Thanks very much indeed, it was really good to meet you - I hope we meet again soon, you're always welcome here.

Hope you had a good trip home.

worth the trip,thank you very much what can i say.apple pie......hmmmm beats a jaffa cake hands down,and the veiw, whats behind door number three.will be back soon......thank you ......gp...

I was having a bit of a crappy day when the postie arrived with a box from Gareth with two seat belts for the extra seats in the back of my 850 estate and a battery clamp. I could'nt have went to the scrapyard myself,bought them and paid petrol for the price Gareth charged me! What a bloke!





p.s. I will want a few other odds and sods shortly so will be in touch.
