Alan-G Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Had to get a full set of shoes for me scoob today and went to Kwick-Fiddle. Guy quotes for 4 Bridgestone potenza's at £599 ! Aye right me says. Told him £350 and it's a deal. He says he'll check with the computer (tyres in stock BTW). I say's the computer will allow it at that discount. being New years eve and a' that. Got the shoes albeit £350 sheets lighter on the wallet but hey - I think I did ok. Don't ask - Don't get. Just pick a figure....
nkwrx Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Nice one mate, always good to get one over on a recognised rip off merchant. did the same thing with them last month on a set of Perrelli's for my Legacy
4Hero Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 350 quid and they are still making a decent profit Nice one though Alan, well done!
boris b Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Nice one mate. I really does go to show just how much profit these places can make .
Alan-G Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Nice one mate. I really does go to show just how much profit these places can make . Aye mate, looked again at the receipt and the 350 nicker includes vat - balancing - fitting - valves + eco waste disposal of me old tyres ! WTF 2 fronts which I changed efter Gus the Bus destroyed 'em tryin to get some good video footage were replaced from a cheappo place in M/well at £60 a pop, Utterly crap. Went through Scone roondaboot givin a little welly and the motor was fishtailing beyond belief. Great fun if ye dinnae hae a broken rib at the time, but crapp tyres - never again. The WRX came with specific tyres - I / Gus wore them out (the motor was stinkin' o' clutch/ brakes and all sorts that day) and I chose to be a cheappo and got 2 crap tyres. (I thought £60 a shoe was cheap) NEVER BUY CRAPPY TYRES. Will be stickin to the original spec the car came with. Still the best car I've ever bought (after 30 years of buying/driving all sorts of cars) Not one day goes past when my WRX does not deliberately put a smile on my face because that's its job. Thankyou Mr Subaru. Edited December 31, 2007 by Alan-G
