Trade card=life saver
« on: 20 March 2008, 18:46:43 »

I received my trade card from Autobahnstormers during the week & today picked up my self levelling rear dampers.
That'll be £103 each + VAT oh trade card sir
That'll be £65 each + VAT.
Not only that but engine oil (5ltrs) £22.50+ VAT =£9.51+ VAT. :y
I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, now what else can I buy.
For a £20 outlay, i'm suprised not eveyone is a member of ABS.
I cant wait for lots more things to go wrong, so I can save even more money! ;)

Might I ask how long did it take from first-joining ABS until the TC arrived?  ;)

Because I had an MOT failure on my hands, I put a £20 note in the post to their mem sec. (it saved time waiting for cheques to clear) & received trade card & magazines within about 3 days.
The best £20 anyone could spend IMO.
The Omega is fast becoming the most populous car in their club I understand. :y
