Dont worry im not converting back to the darkside, im just trying to pull some pennies in and make a living whilst doing a job I enjoy and half know something about !
I sell modern cars for a living. I dont post a list of whats for sale here cos the people here are not interested in modern cars!!
Was that polite?
Si thats fine fella, I was just letting you guys know what I have atm in stock, The plan is to start getting hold of stuff for many american vehicles such as chrome parts such as headers/exhaust manifolds etc etc, also I have started on race parts as you can see I have some Kitcar stub axles on there atm that are a custom fit, and may be of use to some the Hotrod builders, I appreciate that some of the BOOM BOOM subs and other stock may not appeal to all people but you have to cater for all groups as theres No money in just one cattagory its varied as im sure your aware being in the car trade
Oh and if it would appeal to you I can offer you free advertising space on the site for your sale cars, am currently in talks with several other car dealers to get a sort of Ad trader thing going online on there
Anyhow keep checking back cos there will be more stuff that will interest you

Wheres ya shop pete? I know a few lads who would like to have a look round.
Everythings online atm mate
Rpp used to have a shop in lowestoft when I worked for them before, the company was taken over by Unipart who only took the Business and not the name, who instead of running with us shut the company down as they saw us as competition at the time, they werent interested in modified stuff and just wanted another motorfactors out the area. Apparently something they do regularly !
Anyhow Rpp name had been lying dormant for a few years, the website had been lying unused and unloved with still regular traffic until I managed to take it over a couple weeks back, Since then its been a case of tracing a lot of our original suppliers down and getting it all back to how it was, Have had very good response so far from it tbh, we had a lot of regular customers when we had the workshop and a lot were very sad to see us go when we did.
We are looking at getting another styling shop in the near future, ideally we would like a shop/unit where we can setup a tuning and performance centre, one of the boys is still trained as a tuning specialist and has a lot of the equipment needed still, Along with a few other guys were associated with who each are skilled in there different areas IE paint/interiors etc
But this is all useless atm to us without business capital and even with a sound business plan etc atm its hard for Banks to be able to lend out the cash needed to setup a new venture aswell as being a very high risk market
We have spoken to a number of businesses who have advised us to hang fire with the Internet shop, people are coming off the highstreet atm and shopping around for bargains, the ideal sales market for us as a new business setup we dont have any huge outlays on stock,overheads on premises etc but can still offer the same services as normal including fitting/tuning etc in the local area at prior arrangement.
Anyhow enough of the waffle, If theres anything people would like to see on there then please do let me know, im currently trying to source parts such as headers/lakepipes and chrome parts for american vehicles and hotrods
I also will be updating the shop in the next few weeks to include several new products that may be of use to vehicle restorers/builders/enthusiasts
These items include things such as Draper tools and specialist items
Will be offering discount to Turtlespeed Members on our products also, however this will need to be determined on the product

Thanks that would be great, Used to go down to southers quite a bit when had the modified cars but been nearly 3 year since been properly involved in that scene so lost touch a little with whats going on and where down there, any help would be much appreciated
