Gee Wr1 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Still no probs getting up here in Inverness although it costs £102.9[:@]
st3ph3n Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I'm not on the trackday, but someone maybe think about phoning the shells near knockhill to make sure they got plenty in stock for next weekend.
FastScooby Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Rosyth usually has loads... everytime i have went there to fill up they had loads of the lovely stuff
Nelsdir Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I sent in an email asking what the prob was..... 1st reply was "Dear Mr xxxxxxxx, I am writing further to your recent email concerning Shell Optimax. I can confirm that there were problems with the distibution of Optimax over the Easter period. Deliveries of Optimax have now resumed. I am sorry for any inconvenience cased. Kind Regards xxxxx xxxxxx Customer Service Professional " 2nd more apologetic reply was "Dear Mr xxxxxxxx, Thank you for your E mail regarding your recent difficulties in obtaining Shell Optimax in your local area. I was very sorry to hear that there was no Optimax available at the time of your visits. I fully appreciate that this situation is unacceptable and I would like to offer my apologies on behalf of Shell UK for the unnecessary inconvenience that has been caused to you. Shell delivers fuel twenty fours hours a day, seven days a week throughout the UK and every effort is made to ensure that out of stock situations are kept to an absolute minimum. On this occasion the lack of Optimax in the region was die to unforeseen operational difficulties, which have now been resolved. Deliveries of Optimax should be back to normal very soon. I apologise for the dissatisfaction you have been caused and any inconvenience you have been subjected to. I do hope that this unfortunate incident will not deter you from visiting Shell branded service stations in the future. Yours sincerely, xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx Customer Services- Retail" Not even a 5p-off a litre voucher Neil
paddy247 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 The shell garage between Blackford and Auchterarder was out today and so was the shell garage in Perth, Had to settle for some bp ultimate with a bottle of booster. Somthing sinister going on.

DR Motosport Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Livingston Lizzie Brice had plenty on Saturday. Polbeth also had Optimax this morning. David
MY94 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Phoned a few places in Edinburgh today,seems optimax is back on the menu.Dalry has it and the others said they were being restocked between 9-10pm tonight! Cold turkey over,I'm off to get my fix!
Spaceman Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Igot a tank of the good stuff on friday from cumbernauld 98.9p had to put esso supreme in today at 101.9 in camelon. joke.
BriWRX Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 you can now add Kirkcaldy to the list now. 1. Renfrew 2. Hillington 3. Rosyth 4. Blackford 5. Auchterarder 6. Jedburgh 7. Berwick on Tweed 8. Leven 9. Pittenweem 10. St Andrews 11. Stonehaven 12. Kilsyth 13. North Anderson Drive, Aberdeen 14. Stirling 15. Cumbernauld 16. Camelon 17. Dreghorn, Edinburgh 18. Dundee 19. Rosyth (both) 20.

It may mean using BP Ultimate fuel and more bottles of millers octane booster for me soon.]" src="/emoticons/emotion-4.gif">
colin_ross Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 1. Renfrew 2. Hillington 3. Rosyth 4. Blackford 5. Auchterarder 6. Jedburgh 7. Berwick on Tweed 8. Leven 9. Pittenweem 10. St Andrews 11.

Dunfermline (East End Park) 21 Kirkcaldy. 22. Bargeddie This is not good timing as I'm due to have the car mapped on Wedneday and it really need to have the correct fuel in it so the map is not out for every other time I fill it up. Think I'm going to start brewing my own, it's got to work out cheaper than £1.03 a litre.
