Ferrari F40 ! Taken at Goodwood FOS a few years ago. Nearest I have to this is my Mini which is red !


The wheels did look rather a lot like Ferrari ones, along with the front end, but the back I couldn't make out properly due to the size and quality of the pic. I'm a Lamborghini man myself.....give me an original Countach (or LP400s version) anyday!

[It so refreshing to hear there are genuine retailers, and you're being recognised for it - too often there has been such negative input about poor delivery times etc etc. I have been guilty myself of whinging about less than good service. This is why I have two retailers, when needed, I go to without hesitation, hence my loyalty to them.

Keep the good work up.....Big Smile


Thanks PP.


We keep up quick delivery times by keeping as much in stock as possible. It's extremely rare for us to let anyone down, which is why you don't really see anything negative about us on any forums (that I know of!). It's a little tough sometimes when you have around 4,000 products on the website (maybe more by now!), so it's the usual case of monitoring it and see what needs to be kept in stock. Some products, especially larger floorstanders we tend to order as and when we need to due to cost and numerous finishes, and just the amount of floorstanders we do - most of them we can get next day, so this helps free up space.


I've checked on our system to see if you use us - no Mr. P. Penguins on there though.... Smile

An hour? Big Smile


 


Gill - you definitely have the wrong car for your avatar! That Countach pic you sent me was yummy!! Theres a kit version on ebay at the moment for £20k (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lamborghini-Countach-QV-vette-Engine-Porsche-Gearbox_W0QQitemZ150394330868QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2304335ef4) which is quite nice, although there was a genuine one on their last year for £40k - twice the price has to be worth it for the real deal!!


Beautiful car - and to think, the original design is almost as old as me!! Bertone was decades ahead with that design.

Thank you gel.


We've been in the building for over 20 years now, and I'm surprised the thing is still standing because of the amount of equipment in it!! We're a little limited as to what we can do in there though, with it being a listed building that's 500 years old.

Just give me a call and let me know when you want to pop in and what you want to hear, at least then I can make sure a room is free for you and that everything's warmed up nicely Smile


Look forward to seeing you!

Re: Frank Harvey Hi-Fi Excellence

Hi David, thanks for your reply.


My uncle lives in Ipswich would this be okay installation wise? Thanks


He likes the B&W MT30 the small speakers, I also see you have a wide selection of M&K, would there be a M&K package for aound £1,600? Thanks


He also likes the idea of not many remote controls, so I was thinking pioneer amp control the blu ray player and amp?


Thanks alot.


I used to live in Solihull and my mum can remember your shop, i showed her the pictures of your shop, she said that she used to got to a clothes shop just down the road from your shop.


Thanks

Re: Frank Harvey Hi-Fi Excellence

Hi gel


We have the whole MK range, so you can listen to whatever you want to. Their packages start from just under £1,500, but there are ways of bringing that down depending on the sub being used, and obviously it's sale time, so it'll be cheaper anyway Yes
