A few of you may have heard of Eastern-Western Motor Group, they are basically one of the biggest car company's in Scotland, being approved dealer's for the likes of Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, VW, Ford as well as loads more.
More importantly, they're approved by Honda, which is where this thread comes in.
A friend of mines had some work done by their bodyshop, and after talking to the manager, John, he managed to arrange an open day for us where basically we could go in and use their facilities to wash our cars as well as giving us a tour of their quite frankly amazing workshop (as you'll see in some of the pictures).
I can't emphasise enough how fantastic John and his staff were, letting us loose on their workshop, providing us with bacon rolls and coffee, all free of charge on their days off. It's nice to see some people genuinely interested in our "community" and go out of their way to help us.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures! We were there with the civinfo guys, and you may recognise @Steve M and @Frodo kicking about! I didn't take as many as I wanted, I managed to talk my way into getting to use the ramps so I could clean my wheels inside-out, so @Bushell took over when I was busy
SOme of the pictures are a bit noisy due to low light, sorry about that!

After this, a few of us went out for some pictures, ended up being the perfect time to catch the sunset
