I think it's the Springer Spaniels that do the job love . The daft pair turn their eyes on you , melt your heart a bit, then Henry/Paul/Nick/Lawrie pounce saying "Suplex upgrade Sir" and you feel churlish not to say yes.

Fortunately they've not said "Plus 4 Sir" (yet). Mind you, there's a very nice white Aero there, glad I cant afford that (sorry Boshly)!

Can they slip a 2.0 Duratec into a 4/4? If so, I'd be interested...

It is the dogs, they soften you up and then Paul does his stuff and that is it.

I went there to look at a +4 and came away with a Roadster.

Now Henry keeps talking about a new +8: I'm terrified to go there!

It isn't any better if you go looking for parts. Mike seems to be able to sell ideas, brings in Lawrie and Caroline and then you may as well just give him your card.

I tell you, they have a neat operation that makes you want to give them money! I suspect they want it all.

Peter.
That is my fear; however!

A 2.0 Duratec transplant for Stanley?
Can a better gearbox also be fitted? (Mazda perhaps?)

Aaaah. . .NO! . . . I can resist anything, except temptation.

If your going to go 2.0 Simon, it's only 200cc up on your present engine. You might be better off going the whole hog and aiming for a 2.5... grin2

I think he wants a roadster but is unsure whether he would drive Stanley and a Roadster, mind you if one was yellow hide

Ooh! shocked2 and Jays has been encouraging me to visit Williams spend

But having read this great thread, I think I'll have to bide my time until there is enough in the piggy bank... fortunately geography is on the financial controller's side laugh2

Great discussion and info though chaps, thanks!
