Modify your car at tesco!!

Recommended Posts

Dont think I mind shopping anymore.

Do the shopping, have a meal, get your hair cut, sort out car and home insurance, get your car done, all under one roof. Will save a lot of time

Amazing

I wouldn't trust anyone to wash my car, other than possibly a Rado enthusiast.

 

I wonder what their "The Best" or whatever Tesco call their premium product range is like in the zorst and RR department :lol:

I wonder how well their insurance company accepts modified cars.. it would be somewhat ironic if they sell all this bolt on tat in their shop and then get upset if you phone them up to tell them you've modified your car using bits they sell!

What difference does it make what shop it comes from? Tesco don't actually make tuning parts ya know. They're just selling them!

 

A lot: Tescos are a grocers, they sell stuff that should end up in our tummies, then in the loo :lol: Come to think of it: That's where their car-modding stuff will end up, too :lol:

 

I personally believe that a shop should have some sort of specialisation in what they sell. Bad enough Tesco sell food! Let alone whatever they want to sell now :lol:

No, Tesco's are a retailer looking to maximise profits. End of.

 

Do you buy your meat from a butcher, vegies from a grocer, millk from a dairy, cakes/biscuits from a bekery, etc? Or do you go to the supermarket and get it all in the same place cos it's easier Tempest? Hmmm..... I wonder?

 

Tescos are not experts in food or exhausts - they just sell stuff.

 

Would you buy a Schrick manifold from tescos if it was cheaper than anywhere else? I would.......

Every single time, without fail. It's only when you get used to real food that you realise just how shi't supermarket food is. I can't stand them, and for this exact reason, we're going the way of America with the likes of Wallmart ( who own Asda ) - buying EVERYTHING under one roof :roll: - how the hell are small business's supposed to survive with competition like that :(

 

I don't use Supermarkets.

Yup, what Walesy, said. Can't beat meat from a good butcher, and don't even get me started on the Chorley Wood process ceiling tiles that they try and pass off as bread!

Back on the car parts though, they're only selling simple bolt on stuff (mostly looks cosmetic rubbish) to make money from their main customer base.

I was asking Tempest. You probably have to travel 150 miles to a tescos mate :)

 

But......... if you needed milk and you were near tescos, would you go in Dave?

And I shall answer:

 

I would if I could, but unfortunately living in a city, where supermarkets have always won the battle against the smaller shops, effectively killing them off (whereas in the countryside, these supermarkjets aren't interested in building their big huge tinfoil shopping dungeons, as there aren't enough customers, unless they're willing to travel large distances, hence far better chances for small shops to carry on existing in those areas), I have no choice, although I do support the Coventry indoor market whenever I can, and yes, the fresh fruit and veg makes a HUGE difference to the supermarket crap.

 

Running my own small business supplying PCs I know what it's like standing up and having to fight against the big chains: You learn to identify the enemy and hate them Unfortunately the public with their regular jobs in councils/big corporations, far far away from the small shopkeeper and his worries couldn't care less about this.

Ah so its a convenience thing then...

 

So if tescos sold the same exhaust as say stealth, and tescos was way closer, I personally would also go for the convenience and get it from tescos.
