Title: Hi from Worcestershire
Post by: spiros on January 15, 2017, 09:10:06 PM
Hello. just bought a 2013 gtr 1400 from Fraser's of Gloucester. Decided to sign up and looking forward to some decent weather to get out on it. Don't mind cold or rain but hate the salt that's around this time of year.  :cheesy:

 :185: from Shropshire!
Good choice in steed sir,  :clap: wishing you many miles and adventures! :biker3:
Frasers, as originally from Gloucestershire had a really high opinion of them, still as good?
Appreciate comments on the grit on the roads, swine of a chip on the car windscreen on the way to work tonight! :gun_bandana:

Hi and welcome, I've been using Frasers for 20 years now and my GTR came from there. Excellent service and heartily recommended-last  time I was in there just before Christmas they had two GTR's on sale-both very very nice indeed, I imagine yours is one of those,  you'll love it.

Nobody? Really? Go read Gerald Durrells "My Family and Other Animals". Very funny and a real page turner.
The recent tv series was OK but didn't do it justice.

Welcome along.
As you can see by the posts so far it can be a daunting task making sense of it all!
