IOM TT 2011
13 June 2011
Well, back now and had a great time!
The senior was was delayed as some of you will know.
I was on the scaffolding at Greeba, watched the historic Yamaha's go past they were amazingly noisy.
It was amazing that was at Greeba all day and got a tan, yet up at Ramsey there was hail, snow and rain! Once the race got underway it was clear to see on the road just how fast John McGuiness was compared to all the others. Really really trying!
Got some great celeb pics, met Henry Cole, John McGuiness and family, Murray Walker all to have a good chat with. Saw Jamie Whitham, Craig Doyle, Micheal Dunlop a few times, Keith Amor, Ryan Farqhar, Cam Donald....there'll be others but a really relaxed atmosphere and were all happy to chat and have pics taken. I'll add some once uploaded..

New Meguiars stock added
28 April 2009
Good morning viewers!

I have had a nice big shipment from Meguiars HQ and have been busy adding stock to the online shop.
Some new ones to the range such as:

Ultimate Compound, which is a new generation of polishes. Able to be effective both by hand or machine and I was very impressed by the demo I saw at one of their detailing seminars.

Ultimate quick detailer, to give your car a quick once over to keep looking tip-top. A must for the glove box, show ready!

Gold Class shampoo, good value for money and wax friendly. It wont strip your carsprotection.

Other new products too, have a good luck round.

Best wishes, Tim
