Re: Fake Receipts

As above, if it was purchased a while ago then I'd suggest you're up a certain creek without a paddle... Which sucks big time.

And to echo qwakers - rare to see a thread with 'kwik-fit' in it and it not actually be their fault!

Re: Tour de Snowdon 2024 - Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th May

Unfortunately with another holiday booked shortly before, I just can't afford that kinda cost I'm afraid.

I'll have to bow out of this one.

Re: How do you winter store your RX-8?
