Important Announcement

Some changes have been taking place within WRD over the last month and we are now pleased to announce a new partner within the team and that sadly an old member who will be taking a back seat for a while



Nutter_john has now become a full partner within the team and has started to drive WRD into the future with a lot of new ideas for products and pushing the capabilities of WRD to it's limits .

Wouter has decided to take a back seat for a while as his spare time is in very short supply at the minute , and I would like to thank him for all his efforts over the last 12 months and hope to see him back in the future

Product News

We as you know we have been hard at work developing lots of new shiny toys for the VR4 and we are nearly ready to launch the Downpipes , we have a set on test at the minute and are awaiting feedback before we go into final production runs . Our current release date is scheduled for Mid March at which point we will also be launching our new website and shop .


Many Thanks for your support

Good news Rich and all power to your elbow John. Best of luck in pushing WRD forward. (Or is it JRD now?)

Personally I would have sacked Derek ........ but what the hell, he's a good looking chap for his age. :thinking:

Thankyou for you're kind words of support Richard, I'll return the favour in the not too distant future. /pan /pan

I've a few 'I's to dot & 'T's to cross, but hopefully I'll become a more active member of WRD very soon. As you all may know..... I do sod all during the week, :afro: but I'm stuck over in scumchester. /Grrr and I end up doing jobs for peep's at the weekends. [or socialising in the Abbey most of sat & sun !! ] All that is about to change so I can concentrate on WRD more.

I'll keep you all posted. :iloveyou:

Spoke to Nutter John today and had a lovely 20 min chat with regards servicing my car and the future of WRD. All I can say is my car will be with them next month for work which would have cost me an arm and a leg anywhere else, they are only taking a leg! I wish WRD all the best for the future and look forward to seeing you on the 4th March.

I remember the early days, when you'd go direct to Richies house, Lorraine would make you a sausage sandwich, you'd have a bit of a chat before sauntering off to the lock-up.

Ol' Rich would start on the car and Wouter would start on the brews.

I suppose this is what's called progress.

Have you ever seen John? /shudders

Yup I got a lot on my plate this year!! Carmel and I have been engaged for too long.... and I have finally got her to agreeing to marrying this year.... hopefully in September.

So lots to plan and I will still be haunting the WRD workshop! :thumbsup:

Still do provide the refreshments...... All you have to do is give me warning and i can have sausage and bacon butties to the ready. I even go to the chippy at lunch time without being asked so peeps have a hot lunch.

Don't think that is going to change in the near future.... got to keep the troops strength up.

Nope as an ex customer I can honestly say that I never went without food or drinks whilst at the garage and this will not change one bit .

It will just be in a bigger garage with lots so new equipment and some toys to tempt people ;)

Oh, Goody!! That means, as responsible VR-4 owners we should help improve their chances by purchasing a set of their super-spangly downpipes and a sports cat!:iloveyou:
