Default Tom Hobbs

Today I collected my tourer from Tom Hobbs, who was repairing the seal on both sides. It was a great pleasure meeting with Tom and delighted in chatting with him, the work was completed to a very high standard and I thoroughly recommend him.
The passenger side was more affected than the driver driver side and Tom guided me through the work.
All in all very pleased and a pleasure to meet such a great guy, thank you Tom.
Now how to post photos here?

Poor Tom Hobbs. Ok - own up - who gave brother grivas his number?

lol, I was just reading that, then remembered a tip Brian once gave at times like this.

Click on the orange arrow box beside the quoted poster's name. It will load the original post (it also allows a post to be verified if it was edited prior to posting eg see the quote I made of your post above). If using Tapatalk app, clicking on the 'originally posted by' tag will do a similar thing.

I did see Tom recently to pick up a rear sill for my ZT. I have to agree he is a lovely chap, awash with work but didn't have much time to chat as he was seizing an opportunity to escape for part of the weekend with his family and had waited for me before leaving!

He did comment well on my old Citroen C15 van, but I did say his welding skills would be wasted on it if it failed it's MOT, which it then proceeded to do!

Try 'posting photos', or 'post images' or 'upload images' (etc) into the search function above (where it says 'enhanced by google' then click the magnifying glass icon or press enter). Not sure if you can or not if you are not a subscribed member.............
