Do Not Use Orchard Motors In Newport!!!

[K Simmonds]

Cheer's guy's.

Keeping my cool was the hardest part, as Charlie and Tristan from here will attest to I have an extremely short fuse and really loose it as a rule. I was so angry I could barely speak let alone get across all the points I wanted to, if I'd started to say what I really wanted there would have been a fight.

I could have handled it a little better but that mechanic was obviously getting more and more defensive and I could feel combat chemicals being released in my brain so I had to walk when I did.

Charlie watched me jack the car up yesterday and undo the inner offside tie rod adjuster with my thumb and finger, it was when I mentioned that he became really aggressive.

Anyway, as you guys have pointed out no serious damage was done to me or the car and that's by far the most important thing. Also it happened once I'd driven all the best roads and was well on the way back so it didn't really affect my holiday other than an hour or so of stress.

In fact the accident on the M74 caused us more trouble.

I have a letter drafted that needs to be proof read by my mother who's a legal sectary before I send it and that outlines all my concerns, ie not using a torque wrench.

I'm also considering writing to Gwent police even though it's a civil matter as my vehicle was left in a dangerous state.

I'm intent on causing them as much hassle as possible.

Oh yes - Kit does throw his toys out in quite spectacular fashion sometimes. I'm glad he cooled off, I spent a while Thursday evening suggesting a more civil approach than he was considering that day!

And Kit recommended Orchard to me lol... Off to check the torque settings

Hi kit there's a place in Aberdare called A&N tyres that have the Hunter system the guy couldn't do my car has I had two top mounts shot but I have had good feedback from friends that have Quattro and all have been good, there is also a place in Tredegar called Idigo Gt that also have the Hunter system also good feedback from my Nephew and his mates who are with the Jap car seen, both charge about £100 spondooly's to do the job at least they are a bit tad closer than SUNNY old Brissol .

Cheers for the heads up Ray but I'm going to be taking the car too the guy Rusty uses, I don't mind travelling a little further be sure of a good job, plus a ton is kinda steep for regular alignment, I appreciate a custom job may be more expensive. Rusty uses his car properly including on track and he's at least as fussy as me so if the guy is good enough for him then that'll do me.

Oh yes, you've witnessed me having real tantrums as has Charlie, though I think you've seen the best ones.

Thanks for the advice you gave me regarding the matter

Have you called the tosser yet to tell him you won't be sending any more business his way and to generally wind him up? Your much better at that than me
