Wouldnt surprise me really as those of us left with these cars now are enthusiasts rather than just the wind the boost up brigade and aren't spending the money with tuners anymore??

a pack of rowntrees fruit pastilles contain about 187 calories which
is about average for a sweet of that nature.

Exactly that, but people either forget that or just don't compute it in the first place.

I think it's a shame they are going, end of an era, no ?

Well yes ,I suppose it is but now is the time for someone or other to take on the task .
This club would be the obvious choice :agree:
We can buy up all the stock in the world BUT must shift it thereafter :coffee:It is up to the members to support this endeavor .

i dont see why we cant stock parts, and that looks like a good varied amount of stock. i didnt realise you could buy alot of that over the net, i thought most of it was renault only. if i had the time i would snap that lot up, it will all go eventually.

As long as I don't have it sitting in my garage/front room/toilet for ages then no problem .

there is no tuning goodies included so maybe they are just clearing out service items and sticking to the tuning side.

As sure as night follows day, it was always inevitable that BB would be pulling the plug on gtt tuning one day. Might not be that long before K-tec follows suit too.

Still, there's always GT Tuning to fall back on... :)
