Re: [doc] Kent show

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alistair, you have our sympathies!!! I didn't realise we were talking 
about your car when I started reading the mail and caught myself 
thinking "ah well, you can use paint stripper - it's a DeLorean!".

As you know Dave used to work for BMW. A former colleague of his has now 
set up his own bodyshop and his work is absolutely excellent. If you're 
looking for a good shop to do repairs to your paintwork, give us a 
shout, and we'll put you in touch.
