I PX'd my 996 GT3 in against a caterham R500 with these guys 18 months ago and a nicer set of people you will not find.

Kept in touch and they have helped source all manner of cars for friends. From Audi A4 to RRS including run of the mill Focus, etc.

They have just had a purpose built showroom built oppostite Audi in Blackburn and have their opening event this weekend so if you're stuck for something to do and fancy a blat why not drive out for a nosey and a cuppa sometime??

The showroom is pretty big (room for well over 20 cars indoors) and I'm sure there will be some interesting stock passing through now they have more space - they sold a Macca not too long ago and a really smart Audi R8 GT. If your looking for a swap or a cash sale on something interesting may be worth speaking with Tom over a coffee?

They have a gorgeous GT3 RS for sale at the minute so I best leave my cheaque book at home as those impulse buys can be dangerous from past experince!!!!

The owners Tom and Richard previosly established Prestons BMW and Hillendale so they know what they are doing, have been trading for years in Burnley so not a young start up business like many in this game.

To show what honourable people they are they even bought their new showroom and office furniture off me by way of a thank-you for introducing people that they did great deals for!!!! It was a win win situation.

See you there perhaps (Sepang Blue Audi R8)

I resemble that remark. Went out to buy a bathroom, came home with a Porsche. Still happily married.

Is this Hippo by any chance? What a great bunch of people they are. The missus recently bought a car from them, only a Fiat 500 but we were treated like we were buying an Aston. They couldn't do enough for us, lots of coffees etc.

Sorry - yes Hippo prestige / Hippo Motor Group - great people as you say

I went out shopping in Harrogate with the missus and ended up px ing her A3 sportback for a 996 GT3. That was an expensive day out!

So be careful, don't test drive that GT3 RS unless you want to buy it, they are pretty good :-) I only went window shopping.

I followed a grey/red gt3rs with Hippo plates briefly the other day in Blackburn. Driver wasn't bothered about 30 limits... gorgeous car though.
