Default Inverness Shell garage

Been waiting 2 fckin weeks now for sum vpower in the shtty inverness shell garage, been told it might be in on 21st march now. Wot a joke. Having to use bp ultimate and motor is runnin like a bag of nails.Anyway the guy at the garage gave me a number to phone and complain so trying to get as many people to complain as poss so they might actually get there finger out there **** and have a constant supply in ness from now on! Complaints can be made on the following number 08007318888. Cheers

Tell me about it It's been more than 2 weeks since they had Vpower, went up past last wkend and they didn't even have super unleaded. Don't think there is any point in phoning that number as the Shell garage/s in Nairn, Elgin and Ft william all have Vpower on the forecourt. It looks like it is a problem with Kingswells themselfs.

last time i was there i got in at 9.55 on the sat then got out of the car to the pump and they switched it off between the time i got out and opened the petrol cap.....very pissed i went in and asked WTF....they said sorry we didnt realise you wanted fuel and its 10PM, told them it was only 9.55 and what did they think i wanted (idiots), they then said we cant switch it back on cos it will be after 10PM by the time it fires up and we will be shut.....GRRRRR they make me so fookin angry......was in deen today and saw 4 shells without lookin all with Vpower.....

Unfortunately we don't have an Asda in the Sneck, closest being in Elgin 38mls away. Worth while traveling to Nairn 18mls to get V power, not sure if there is any Shell garages closer than that. I own a Blue 05 WRX with the Morette headlights.

last time i was in the guy was saying that all the guys from the snowman were in filling up jerrycans with vpower, sounds like they havent restocked since! used to be a shell in beauly, just along from my house but its gone now
the amount of imprezas/evos etc about up here i really dont understand why theres only one vpower pump
nice to see a strong inverness contingent though, most ones i see dont wave much

Yep there useless, not much better in Elgin, but Nairns always had V-power when Ive been in.

I wont use anything else, you can get away with a tub of octane booster and use esso super once in a while.
