Ive often wondered what that spot is like...seen their website and drooled over a few of their cars but heard mixed things about them

Ps. Count sheep or drink Fosters ;D

you will certainly find most bits cheaper elsewhere, but if they are local to you then its the convience.

when i lived in yorkshire, i used them now and then. they are ok for most things, like i said a little expensive. usually have afew nice cars to look at. once when asked for advice ref a fibreglass flipfront, they told me to "buy theres" and they would advise me on fitting.......so i never asked them for advice again.

They're only down road from me, some things are dearer than elsewhere but I don't like waiting and if I tell them I can get it cheaper elsewhere they have knocked sumert off. They've got some nice cars in usually yes.

They are pretty good but sometime expensive, been a few times and they discounted some items for being a regular.

Nice people too.

Some people call them but i've never had a problem Liz's always happy to do a discount. Don't know whereabouts in Rotherham you are but there's also MiniMod at Bramley. Slightly more expensive but always top quality and i guarantee you'll come away with a mind full of info after a chat with Trev the owner, proper mini mad, great bloke.

I moved picking my engine up a day sooner once I'd decided what to get. Having made the decisions I don't think I would have slept that night if I'd had to wait :lol:

Dint get them from there, she just went on about what I want is their spring kits n how they are that good that race cars are banned from using them ! So I went to minimod and he's sorting them and also my gearbox .he is a wealth of knowledge and had a good look round the car advising me on different bits. I'll not be going back to pl minis, why o why havnt I been going to minimod....you live n learn

I’ve been going to PL Minis for many years! And they have always given me good advice; I have bought Gaz shockers in the past, and to be honest they are not best. So in hindsight, I purchased their Coil Spring Kit; the ride on my mini is now fanatic!
