I was going to say it originated the SE.... But actually its from Warwick way.

Anyone on here in the area and fancy coming along? I suspect I'll be the only on S/RS4 owner at this rate!

Only just up the road from me really so it depends on mood and work load (and if I can properly reaffix the slightly flappy bottom door trim. A large wood screw and araldite beckons I fear.)
