September 2019

There was chill in the air this morning for sure, we don’t know if we’re ready for that yet! Autumn is definitely lurking round the corner so can we please squeeze in a few more warm days and weekends Mother Nature? We’ve still got projects on the go and not enough garage space! Just checking my phone, it’s always a result to see a row of sun icons for the next 4 days, sweet… and it looks like a cracking weekend on the way too.

How was everyone’s Summer? We hope you crammed in as many shows, weeks/weekends away camping as possible and hopefully no down time with any mechanical issues.

We’ve had some extremes of weather this August it’s been all over the place, record high temps of 33 degrees and lows of 2 degrees all in the same month, bonkers.

So what have we been up to apart from serving our awesome customers?

Rob got married recently. It was a fantastic day for all the Cool Air family and Sarah S is now a Bowes. So if you’re calling to speak to Sarah Bowes, there are now 2 just to liven things up.

Rich has been camping as much as possible this year mainly in his late Westy style T25/T3, with only a couple of trips out in the Early Bay. 

Christian took his biennial summer euro trip to the Belgium Ardennes in his T25/T3 Gipsy, which was a scorcher this time with 30+ degrees the whole trip.

Vinnie has been to a ton of UK shows this summer and can be seen mainly near the hard shoulder shouting at his Type 3 Squareback in German, if you see him, give him a push, he’s not had much luck this year.

Sarah + Lee have recently traded their rapid Golf R in for an all the mod cons GTD, with their 1 hour commute the fuel economy has nearly doubled and they’ve halfed their fuel bill in one go, an amazing bit of kit.
