Does anyone know of a decent mechanic near Newbury? If I could find someone who could look after my Coupe that was nearer than 2 hours away I think I would definitely keep it.

Cheers!

@BenH who is the "local" garage you use?
not JBT, as he is further away than Joe

+1 for fcss if you're only 1.5 hours away. I'm the same time away from Joe, it's a nice day out, you get to stand around annoying him, trying to be useful and playing with mango.

I too do that with a 2:15 trip (because I prefer the A roads, even if slower, than trawling round the motorways).

Mango know better than to annoy me, but it doesn't stop her.

Worth the trip to spend time rummaging through joe’s bits!!!
Can’t believe the stuff he’s got stashed!

Always a pleasure to spend a day in ‘coupe world’...last time he just happened to have some nearly new front suspension parts, red rocker cover and strut brace I didn’t even know I needed....get it on!! crazy laugh
