Is halfords the only motor store left? we used to have a Motor world in my little town but even that disappeared a few years ago. Does anyone even shop at demon tweeks or ripspeed anymore? Do they still exist ?

We have a fairly large Halford's in our town, but we still have a couple of other motor stores! I always get my bits from our local Partco, otherwise it's eBay for me lol

Demon tweeks still exist, they're only just down the road from me. They branched out a few years ago into"proper" motor sport and also bikes as well as the usual boy racer stuff.
Pretty much the only company on Wrexham industrial estate that are/seem stable.

We've still got Motorspares round my way. There are flaming loads of them. 2 within 15 mins of each other. Another 30 mins away. etc etc.
Also got Abbey Motor Factory, and another but i can't remember the name. It's in Thurston though.
Oh and another in Rougham, but i think that's more of a garage than a shop :lol:

We've got a euro carparts near us but I've not used them yet. The local garage has a little shop and can get parts (obviously they add a bit of profit on top), other than that its the ebay. I used to be a Halfords regular but now only go in if I'm passing / its late at night and something goes pop.

Cheers Matt, that's the other one we've got round our way too. Blue and yellow vans. Drive like nutters they do.

We've got sutton auto factors and euro car parts as well as a local guy and halfords. Halfords are ok if you know what you want and don't need to explain to them what it is. I bought a battery for the RR from halfords and the girl on the till tipped it upside down to get the security tag foo of it :o
