P1 nutter Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Went there this morning to fill up with optimax and all of the Optimax pumps were locked off...... All of the Shell signs have been taken down too..... Please tell me that they are just having a refurb and have run out of optimax for a couple of days Does anyone know what is going on (didnt have time to stop and ask) as if this one shuts there will be no shell garages left in Plymouth Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 not a clue mate if its gone though the nearest one would be about 2o mins away , either up the a38 or down to cornwall wonder if there is any way we can find out from shell Link to comment
P1 nutter Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Sent an email to shell a few months back about the lack of shell garages in Plymouth and got a load of stuff about economy, market rates etc........ Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 may be worth emailing them about the wembury garage , will be a real pain in the butt if it has gone Link to comment
dave_sutton Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 BAD NEWS GUYS Wembury garage now TEXACO Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 oh noooooooooooooooooo damn that means our nearest shell is either cornwall or up the a38 near ashburton Link to comment
dave_sutton Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 We have South Brent or Ashburton motor works now. Grrrrrrrr Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 thats a total pain in the rear , we will have to go down to that shell station in cornwall now , just past that roundabout , and have to pay an extra £1 to get back Link to comment
P1 nutter Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Which is closer though, the Ashburton one or the Trulefoot round about one????? Link to comment
Dr.Scoob Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Heard a rumour that the Texaco at Budheads road is going to be Shell soon! I'm going to have to stop in and ask them on my way home today to verify it. I know that they are definetly rebranding so lets hope... Link to comment

P1 nutter Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Just round the corner from me too!!!!!!!! Link to comment
Guest The M@trix Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Dont complain my nearest shell Garage is 45 mins drive away. and in my car id use a tank of fuel round trip just to get their. Link to comment
Dr.Scoob Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 It would be brill but...I stopped in on the way home and yes they are rebranding...the shop . The fuel is staying as Texaco. I think I'm going to go down and see Carl and get a box of octane booster. He reckons it'll give a higher octane anyway. Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 would of been brill if the fuel was going to be shell too Link to comment
P1 nutter Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Went to the Ashburton Shell to fill up and it is 15 miles away from Manadon Roundabout.... Took around 35 mins for the round trip. Will be going to the Cornwall shell next time to see how far that one is.... Link to comment
steve700 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I bet it's empty of Optimax today Link to comment
dave_sutton Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 To go to Ashburton you need to drive past the one on the a38 at south brent. must be closer than trerulefoot shorly. I see kingsbridge has gone texaco now, What the hell is happeninnnnnnnn? Link to comment
P1 nutter Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Went to trerulefoot, no Optimax..... Went to South Brent, no Optimax.... Panic then set in, had to go into Ashburton to the Shell next to the Subaru garage!!!!! Why is there no optimax anywhere????????????? Link to comment
Bob Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The optimax all went up in smoke.... I have Tesco's just round the corner so cheap fuel.... Link to comment
scoobylove Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 we use ultimate so at the moment we can still get it in wiltshire Link to comment
dave_sutton Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 According to chappie in South Brent anyone with a performance car is decending on them so they run out. Derrrr gap in the market ORDER LOADS OF OPTIMAX would be my solution. Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 agree mate , or they could open more shell stations next to none near us Link to comment
P1 nutter Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Bit the bullet and bought a big box of millers..... Will be visiting Sainsburys, apparently they use BP Ultimate!!!!! Link to comment
Louise_Rat Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 yup they do use bp ultimate see the tanks going in there all the time Link to comment
