Thanks to Elms !!

[Yanto_csl]

Good to see you all today fellas...

Gareth and Elms crew, big thanks for laying on brekkie / draw / goody bags.

(G - the light stayed off all the way back so clearly I was doing something wrong....again)

Great service.....see you in a couple of weeks.:thumbs:

[O'Neill]

And again, thank you team Elms:thumbs:

[sfh3l]

Double thanks from me:

• For the hospitality and the (grossly unfair) prize draw hospitality. How come I can never win anything even when the odds are less than 3:1? :banghead:
• And for Gareth and Dan sorting out my CSL so thoroughly this week :thumbs:

My first time at Elms and a very impressive set up you have there.

Don't be mad Sam - I think that's the first time I've ever won anything !!:hahaha:

[shimmy]

So just to be clear.

Yanto won an M watch.
Somebody won a £200 trAckday voucher


I won M earings and a weekend (3 day) Brands Hatch DTM admission for 2 persons inc grandstand and pit lane passes.artyman:


Thanks to both M techs and Emma and an especial thanks to the reception girls.:-D:119: I assume they work there unless they were hired in for the day.:finga:


Gareth did my oil service and swapped out my bonnet alarm sensor all in 8 mins (just see how much profit they make!)


Well done everybody.artyman:

Elms sounds like the place to take my CSL when next due a service!
Wasn't impressed with my local dealer & id rather travel & know it was right!

Reception girls do work there on saturdays :drool:
Hope you get to use the tickets without upsetting the mrs too much as she aint seen you . :wink:
Thanks to everyone that came .

[shimmy]

Maybe 10mins, wasn't really counting (but they washed it in that time as well)

I hope you look after the rubber we leFt you on the road!:beer:

[giraffe]

porsche boys left more rubber with dealer principle watching , but he tock it well and was nice and polite to the punters they upset , :clown:

[Porter]

I'll add my thanks, too, Gareth. Really helpful and clearly knows all there is to know about the CSL.

As discussed, I'll be in touch on Monday to talk about the work required. Thanks for taking a look- a credit to Elms and a good reason to make the journey to Cambourne to get that work done.

Do I get another bacon but tie if I come back in a fortnight?

Was it your car had the hanging off splitters?

You gonna loose them. Lost one of mine that popped out at the top. Try to keep under 70mph!

Elms seems to be a great place for CSL's.
We have nothing like that over here at all

We do, to be fair have a great dealer in that they are very accommodating and look after their customers but no open days or the likes.

[billyboysm3]

Yep, thanks, Emma, dan, Gareth and the crew. Next time if we can get enough people elms will be happy to give away a service on a m car up to an inspection II. It would have to be high numbers and some m3/m5 owners to get the numbers up but I'm sure Emma can keep us in the loop & help boost elms profile.

Looks like everyone had a great day, top stuff at Elms.

In fairness Chris, does anyone ever ask or attempt to organise stuff like this? I genuinely don't know but we had to approach dealers in Scotland with semi-confirmed numbers and suggest events/prize draws/BBQ's etc before they'd be interested. I'd have thought the likes of Bavarian/The Country Garage/DP would at least listen to someone regarding it. Especially if you included Mini as I expect they have a huge following.

Was basically just a meet but at a dealer, was usually a good laugh and judging by most of the dealers in our area, they're usually good enough craic. If we played our cards right, could usually get little jobs done too, at heavily discounted rates. I remember I had a brake warning sensor replaced for nothing basically, the guy genuinely enjoyed working on the cars. I know it's only a 10 minute job but still, if you'd booked it in, forgetting the hassle of it all, it'd had cost around £50, at least.

Worth a thought. :thumbs:
