Marcus.. he needs to be able to see the top of the tyre to get the clamps on - this is critical.

I didn't get a chance to stretch her legs on the way back , as I'm stopping over in Harrow.

I'm just on my way out now, and will report back.

I had the geometry set up on my modified Avensis today at STS Watford - by Tony (wheels-inmotion.co.uk).

I like many previous LOC members can again vouch that it was a thoroughly professional job done by Tony and his helpers – he’s been there 23 years, you’d think he’d know what he was doing

The front caster bolts were a bit of a job to get loose, and there was hardly any adjustment in the end. So Tony’s going to try and get some caster bolts, to allow further adjustment.

In the end, I spent around 3 hours there, right by the car. He explained each step and what the figures meant, so even the dummies like me could comprehend .

While there, I mentioned about the steering wobble I was getting at around 55-60mph. Tony kindly checked the balancing for on four wheels, and guess what, they were out (some quite considerably ). Whilst doing this, his helper Barry noticed a small nail in the tyre, which was removed and filled with “special stuff” before any further damage could occur. The charge for all this extra work?? Nil, Zip.. Nothing

What can you say to that, you just cannot get that service these days.

He’s passionate about what he does and it shows through in his work and the pride he takes in it. Take for example, the correspondence and calculations for geometry. This was all done out of working hours in his own spare time.

I wasn’t local to him; in fact it was a 3 hour round trip in all. But you know what, that doesn’t matter one bit, because I left there one very happy and satisfied customer. I can’t tell you the last time I felt like that. Consequently, the IS is booked in for Saturday.

If you want to get it done right, you shouldn’t look anywhere else – regardless of distance. If you do, you’ll be opting for second best and wasting your time and money!

I know where I, my family and friends will be taking our custom.

Thanks again for the top job Tony…. you’re a top man! :winky:

I use Johnson Baby Wipes on the leather keep my hands soft and smell good too :P

Had a nice time today, weather was just right for it.

Nice to put some more faces to names.

And thanks for the drink Barry.. owe you one! :winky:

I think with there track record, they will keep f-ing up..

Best bet is to save up a get some aftermarket 18s/19s..

I know how you feel though, had my last set put on in Sep 04' there all getting changed next week.

I had tint-a-car in greenford do my avensis in Superfilm and Luminar tints.

Good job to..

One very special man..

He'll never be forgotten.

Sup Niraj... welcome to LOC

Have a look through the introduction thread.. theres a low down on most of us there and what we do- me I'm 23

I just bought another IS for my unc in Wembley. A mint X reg Plat Ice - 41k miles, the cleanest I've since for that age EVER, a right bargain to.

If your kicking round the area, I'll show you round mine and his and give you a boot in both to help you decide manual or auto!

What did they say when you asked them about cancelling?

Tell them your doctor has advised you against any strenuous exercise for the moment :D . In sympathy they may refund your money, as you've only just joined up..in hope that you will re-join once recovered.

I think they would have paid out, if he said they seriously threatened him unless he handed over the keys.

Truely Pimptastic...

Very nice.... love the wheels...:zee:

Does your car repel dirt

No we were just on the far side of the car park away from the pub and riff raff :winky:

There was VW Corrado and Cobras there to..

Good meeting you guys!

lol... "only bog standard SE"

I'll be coming along... but don't know what time to come along, keep seeing different times!

Dave you have to come along! Otherwise we'll never buy anything from you ever again...

As Pete said, get it changed for peace of mind sake - as you've only just bought it.

Has it got full service history? Lexus will be expensive, but it's your own choice at the end of the day.

Whatever you do, use genuine parts mate.

Brettster, do you know specifically which ribbon you need from cpc.co.uk?

What did I say...

Time to do some realing hunting for realistic prices.

How does it work, we all book individual or as a group.. you can tell I'm a newbie to this

What's the timings?

Thanks Scarface, you coming along still??

How many people actually going, I'll try and come along!

Is there a meet this Sunday somewhere... I had it down in my diary... would've been my first one as well! :zee:
