Bought an alternator today off ebay for the boy's Austin Healey Sprite project from the Westfield shop. Seeing as they are only a few miles down the road I asked if we could collect to save the hefty postage. "Sure, come down, I'll put it aside for you".

Arrived at the factory in Kingswinford a short while later and did the deal - £36 for a brand new 18ACR alternator! The chap who served us (Ross I think) asked if we were interested in a tour of the factory. We jumped at the chance, so our £36 purchase got us a full tour of the factory and all the cars - some seriously impressive stuff there, plus a sneak peak at a 'secret' development project (sorry, sworn to secrecy). Great tour, and Alex got to sit in some impressive cars. I asked the chap whether there were any apprenticeship opportunities and he turned to Alex and said, "It's always worth writing in". I said, "not him mate, me!"
