Just sitting back with a beer watching the Volvo P1800S episode of Car SOS which I recorded yesterday.
Imagine my surprise when they go to Templar & Wilde the P1800 specialists at Gerrard's Cross. Last December I bought my S3 from Simon who's one of the partners there.
Now imagine my even greater surprise when I see my car in the background for a good few minutes during one of the interviews.
Looks great too (even if I do say so myself!).

I hope it was true and not just another publicity stunt.
Templar and Wilde, great name! Also leaves the door open for them to include Ferrari's and Astons in their business.
I went to see Simon Templar (admittedly pronounced with a French accent) on Monday, his company has done shotblasting and hot zinc spraying for me in the past, alas like many businesses around here you go back after a couple of years and find the place abandoned.
Oh I forgot to say, I absolutely loved the out-take when Sir Roger Moore said to Timnicebutdim "You can f**k off"
Whenever I see the staged "blagging" of parts on that programme or worse still the house renovation ones fronted by the women I want to see the true responses!
