HUGE thankyou to Luke and Chris from PLAYS - KOOL.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

A number of weeks ago, Luke and Chris from Plays - Kool commenced works to Buttercup, to ensure she will stay in good condition for the future.

What has been done is not so important but I believe that the level of service that I received throughout the works needs to be known.

I have been kept updated throughout and this has been through regular telephone calls, text messages and numerous photographs.

Luke and Chris both kept a close eye on costs to ensure that I received value for money and I was not met with costs that I was not aware of. A number of surprises where met along the way and it was not a case of "cheapest is best" or "just get that because its in stock". They both spent the time to source parts that where within budget but also provided longevity and for this I was extremely grateful as without their close eye to the costs then this work would not have been completed so smoothly.

During the works, I spent the day at Plays - Kool and I was made to feel extremely welcome and the work they had carried out was explained to me.

The thing that I noticed was that all the parts that had been removed from Buttercup where all protected with sheets or bubblewrap to ensure no damage. this was also the case with Buttercup herself. Masking tape & dust sheets where visibly in use and this care to prevent any damage was evident throughout the works.

During the day I was there, a "rattle" became evident on Buttercup. Luke and Chris must have been around 5 hours trying to locate the rattle and cure it. The amount of parts that came off the car was unbelievable but they both stated that the car would not leave the worksop unless it was right.

During the rebuild, a number of items where found that extended the build time but both lads where working to a deadline that they wanted to achieve to meet my needs. Both lads worked an incredible amount of hours and I was still receiving update after 11.00pm one evening.

BUT, the biggest thing that stands out above everything is the fact that both lads care about what they do and this is clearly evident in the way that Luke is building and runs his business. 

If you care about something then you really want to do your best and this has clearly been the case every step of the way.

Everything that has been done to Buttercup has been so worthwhile and she drives beautifully. 

All the lads hard work has paid off and it clearly shows. 

I dont really know how to end this other to say that I am so, so happy.

Here are a few pictures of some of the work in progress.

I saw this post and thought someone was replying to my own “huge thank you to Luke and Chris at PlaysKool” thread. 

Just goes to show how good they are!

[Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO]

Good to hear of such good service and attitude.

Looks like a comprehensive rebuild, may you have many more enjoyable miles in her.

@Geoffrey (Buttercup) - North Yorkshire AO would have been an ideal time to go full cage and slicks?

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Thanks for all the comments.

Nearly everything has either been replaced or serviced as it was the right time to do it and she will now last me a good few years.
