Default Big thankyou to the guys at RCM

Made the journey to Roger Clark Motorsport yesterday for the cars yearly health check and an oil service.

Set off from home 5:30am and arrived at RCM 8:30, with a nice steady drive and only the slightest of hold ups on the M25:22B:

As always, a great reception and service from all the guy's.

Many people have pointed out that I could get the work done closer to home and not have a 3hour drive (each way) to endure and they are absolutely right but! anyone who has had the pleasure of using RCM will know exactly why my car will not go anywhere else

Treated to icecream, cold drinks and a cup of tea all served by Olly himself and basically given free run of the place, means work that should probably only take 2 hours at the most resulted in my rolling back in doors at 9:30pm

Was a great day, especially with all the cars there.....(and thanks to the guy's for setting up and taking the piccies)

The RCM lorry, mine and a tidy Spec-C


Then introduce an RA-R (yes it does look like Olly is farting on my rear quarter!)


and top it off with an RB5


and you don't always see one of these tearing the arse out of the rollers at RCM



Great day was had and great service all round, yet again

anyone trying to find somewhere to look after there own car, I cannot recommend RCM highly enough

Looked like the weather was great for a Jolly up to RCM, that dodge was probably the same width as the Rcm Lorry!?

Nice photo's too!
