Hey,

How the heck are you, fine car you've got too, and nice to see you took my advice and popped in here, Welcome

Try the Shell on Kilwinning road Irvine, and the one at Ardeer Stevenston. Both had it lastnight, but the tanks are original and have not been flushed, so I declined the pleasure.

Maybe worth waiting a month

Tell Her to wave next time and if that doesn't work She should flash (Ooooo'err)

I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks waving to fit blonde birds in BMW's and get a reputation as a pimp

Was in both the Shell garages in Stevenston this morning, and they both had their Optimax pumps closed off. Bugger, I ended up driving to the PB in Dreghorn on fumes to get SUL

The Shell garage on Auchenharvie road in Stevenston should be a safe bet for Optimax, as they never used to stock SUL, so the tanks will not have been left empty.

The Ardeer garage in Stevenston however stopped selling SUL about August time last year, and the tanks have been lying empty until now

the car seems to run ok, no big difference!!
optimax is cheaper than esso sul so even if the car don't run sweeter my wallet is smiling
if you see an L plate, white wrx with gold speedlines and red sti mud flaps then there's a good chance it's me!!
you wanna organise a meet post times, places and i'm sure something will end up happening!!!!!!

thanx alasdiar i'll keep it in mind if i'm out and about

Tyler,

The BP at Monkton sells the cheapest SUL for us, can't remember exactly but it's like 79.9 V's 81.9 'Up-North'.

The 77.9 or whatever Optimax has been introduced at is the 'Fayre Price' as I was told.

Plenty of Glasgow lads willing to travel also.

Hamilton too far for you guys as we have regular meets around there on Thursday nights?

West coast owners need to get out more!

don't wanna be selfish and have anyone travel to a location that only suits me ( like my front garden ) any suggestions of times and places could all get stuck in a big blender and i'm sure we'd come up with something that wouldn't put everyones nose out of joint.

where abouts in hamilton you talking dougster cos i know i'd be willing to travel and i'm sure a few like minded people would join me. get a chance to put faces to the comments i've been reading

times and places please people and we could be on to the start of something beautiful here.................

Hi,

quite happy to meet anywhere in central belt (west) as long as its not too much short notice.......otherwise my pimp might complain ( how else can i afford a scooby!!!)

Strathclyde park is an idea.

PS...i had my spare stolen from my house on friday...so keep an eye out for Neds scoping your cars!

Strathclyde Park may be OK but does attract the nova/corsa brigade and the Traffic Police.

Anywhere west would do. Suggestions on a post-card please.
Have car, will travel!

strathclyde park sounds good, the nova and corsa crew would stay out our road i'm sure as for the cops who cares we're all legal ain't we???????????????????????
anyone thought about the car park in the sky near paisley? nice view so the pics would look stunning especially in the evening just as the lights dropping

Hey guys, just thought I'd mention it. Optimax went online at 6pm in Stevenston today. I was their first customer. The sales assistant even had to phone up for the price. (77.9)

Bargain m8, cheapest here is Hillfoot!!! Yes Hillfoot who used to sell SUL at 87.9p.

Car park in the sky a good option, plenty of scanner action also!!
